Just been wondering about this. If you do a standard install of FreeBSD it includes things such as a basic FTP daemon, all the various utilities such as df, ls, etc. SSHD etc. I assum these are all in FreeBSDs core, as developed in the same CVS repo. Having read the mails on this list for several weeks it seems obvious that most people regard Postfix or EXIM to be the best MTAs, so I'm wondering why is sendmail the MTA that is integral to FreeBSD? Wouldn't it be ace to have the default one be Postfix or something? Regards Gabe
