I have set up a different mail-system, and so _I_ don't have many answers for you, but I will direct you to the site that helped me. It's a column from the incredible Dru Lavigne at www.onlamp.com. She writes a column about FreeBSD Basics, and her very good column about understanding e-mail is at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2000/08/30/FreeBSD_Basics.html It's not that hard, as Dru explains it. Good luck, -Peter Hummers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
