Hello, I use the base system sendmail instead of ports procmail because: - documented in manual - security problems are described in FreeBSD announcements - easy updates with freebsd-update - infrequent updates For the same reasons, I'd like to run the base system's unbound to authoritatively host my DNS... but FreeBSD is discouraging me in section 29.7.2 of the manual. Why the discouragement? === https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-dns.html Section 29.7.2 While the base system package can be configured to provide resolution services beyond the local machine, it is recommended that such requirements be addressed by installing Unbound from the FreeBSD Ports Collection. === Thank you, Chris
