X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 01 Jun 2006 01:58:19 -0000 Hey did anyone see the article on /. about Sendmail being removed from NetBSD, and being replaced with Postfix? What advice can you offer about doing this on FreeBSD? What's involved, How do you do it, are there any gotta's (cron scripts?), etc?.... Is it just as simple as installing the Postfix port? How do you stop buildworld from reinstalling sendmail? /etc/mail/mailer.conf? Oh hmm, I see there's a section in the FreeBSD handbook that deals with this topic... Oh well I've already wrote this much... maybe you guy and gals have something more to add. Thanks! -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/
