Is there some way to eliminate sendmail and replace it with something else? For example, freebsd mailing lists bounce my mail because I connect by dialup and get a dynamic IP. If it is possible to get sendmail to deal with this properly I can't dig it out of the wonderful sendmail documentation. On the other hand, simple little mailers such as nbsmtp (mo brainer smtp) can be pointed at my ISP's smtp server and work just fine (as you can see, since this got through to the mailing list). I don't see why, if something as small and simple as nbsmtp can handle the situation properly, sendmail can't. But it is pretty obvious sendmail is horribly bloated. Can't something lower-level handle intrasystem mail (such as the various reports to root) while something as simple as nbsmtp handles outgoing mail? -- Lars Eighner eighner@io.com -finger for geek code- http://www.io.com/~eighner/index.html 700 Hearn #101 Austin TX 78703 (512)474-1920 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
