Running the following as root should be fine, but you should really read the README file for hints and pointers to more detailed documentation. # cd /etc/mail # test -f `hostname`.mc && cp `hostname`.mc `hostname`.mc.BAK # cp freebsd.mc `hostname`.mc # make && make install # make stop ; make restart Then, if the file `hostname`.mc.BAK exists, you should check the differences of that file and `hostname`.mc and merge local changes back into `hostname`.mc that were lost in the process. - Giorgos
