Add to /etc/rc.conf ## Disable SENDMAIL sendmail_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO" ## Start POSTFIX postfix_enable="YES" Now, either manually shut down SendMail or reboot. If you don't reboot, you will have to manually start Posfix. Personally, I would recommend that you reboot. I will leave learning how to configure Postfix as an exercise for the poster. Joining the Postfix Forum would probably be a wise move. -- Jerry [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJVbKphAAoJEElTsHIJnX8e2zcH/2hpHg/SxZCTNrFl/EYjL0qR Q+EibI65Raid+OE5U8mwGvKvX2uskL6B4UL7ZjiviKdLbSfJTuX06fcKnkbf4mmr cb0P3JVLBf4/dHAGraYgi4dUhRbOQWxfvf+rA6CIdH9Gqd9FCHSoQoAzV7vicHMc LPaO8X9iDrt3St0PboEZZRmwkGXMw8Y6g7dbefM+Ql2GZYxp5bLL2cm8gtbPO+Ei bH8RPq4WGVPicBQL6/6AkVJYbifi499ocllBzaGF1Yq1qc7O3bY18j6sK5PTHMOw D35+OFup2Y8ly/38rJtMbR07JylM/tYgzXRnVy/tJCguV1EifgdS2EBJ6WrlXlI= =AHGc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
