Hello Family,

I recently whacked the default outgoing mail process on my
FreeBSD-4.8 system and could no longer send mail with Pine using
"localhost" although I could in fact send mail with the command:

mail -s "mail test" bill@mydomain.com

So I went into /usr/ports/postfix-current and did an install and
at the end the instructions were to add the following to
/etc/rc.conf

####################################################
sendmail_enable="YES"
sendmail_flags="-bd"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"
####################################################

Now, I see basicall the command of `sendmail -bd` nested in the
above settings but I'm not quite sure about the other three.

In other words, how would you correctly "source" the
/etc/rc.conf file if you can at all or is this file only meant
to be referenced at boot time?

Thanks
