Having your maildir world writable is a _huge_ security hole. Do you have your own smail, or did you build it from ports? I believe the one in /usr/ports/mail/smail is OK. change to that directory and type "make". (put your smail source tarball in /usr/ports/distfiles first). > 4. When should I compile -current? Every SNAP-Release or earlier? Up to you. I do it about once a week if there have been enough changes.
