If your needs are really limited to what you describe, you may consider using fetchmail to get the mail from your current mail server (at your registrar). Fetchmail should dump your mail on your FreeBSD system and you will be able to use mailx. That way, you avoid all the problems of setting up a machine intended to receive mail. The configuration to send mail from your FreeBSD/mailx machine should be quite simple (just a few lines to tell sendmail to push your outgoing mail to the mail server at your registrar). If you really inted to set-up your onw complete mail system, goodluck, because it is a lot of work to do :) Good luck, Olivier > > thanks polytropon, and yes, you were not at all impolite. :-) > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > --
