Here at my company we are tired of having to rely on our isp's mail server, so I want to set up my own. I realize I need to make a DNS change, that's no big deal. I have a FreeBSD4.2 machine up and running, which has sendmail running by default, right? I installed the port qpopper. I have looked at several sites for info on just where to start, and the FreeBSD handbook on FreeBSD.org, but am still in the dark. Could someone point me in the right direction? I would like to get the system running within a day or two, then submit the DNS changes. This machine is the only non-NT box in the company, and if I don't show a very compelling reason why I need it, it will be used as a NT workstation. Please help, Please reply to the address below, Notes doesn't have a proper reply-to field, that I can find. -- Chip Wiegand Computer Services chip.wiegand@simrad.com Simrad, Inc Lynnwood, WA 425-712-1138 "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." --Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977 (-- Then why do I have nine?
