> I'd appreciate a "simple english" explanation of the minimum requirements > for setting up of a local mailserver. Not much of a problem here... sendmail is installed by default (for smtp). If you would like the mailserver to do pop3 as well you would need a pop3 server (not intalled by default). I use qpopper. Its available in the ports collection and is pretty easy to setup. > "mail user agent" installed ... running "elm", "pine", "mutt" just return > "command not found". You must install these using the ports system ... look in the FreeBSD Handbook on how to use the ports system if you don't already know. Its well worth learning... > I've attached my "sendmail.cf" file in case its of any help For simple configuration this doesn't need to be altered. Although if you would like the mailserver to relay mail for computers on the LAN then you would have to add the IP addresses to the /etc/mail/access file. I think that's about all there is to it.
