FreeBSD comes pre-wired for SMTP. It should work regardless. Just make sure you call your ISP once every 4 days and run this command: sendmail -q That will clear the mail queue out. You'll probably get warnings every four hours that your mail couldn't be sent, but you can ignore those. I did this all over the summer and had no problems sending mail. I receive mail on another host and used Pine & IMAP to read it.
