Apparently it leaks memory (bad thing) and can be insecure (badder thing) the alternatives usually recommended are xinetd, tcpwrapeprs or tcpserver I use tcpserver because that's what gets installed when you replace sendmail with qmail you might get different and possibly better advice from freebsd-questions though M To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
