You can use atdot from www.atdot.org to setup a web based email with Apache and then
following hte instruction in the install file to modify sendmail to your client's
needs.

Atdot is written in PERL is is very goodd.

If you want to disable teklnet etc etc

Simply modify the /etc/services file in FreeBSD ( but remember to backup your
existing /etc/services/ file before you modify it.
