Is it possible to do that? If so, how? I use the port mail/ssmtp for this purpose. This is a small program that sends all mails via a relay server. After you have installed it you will find some example configuration files in /usr/local/etc/ssmtp. Alter also the entries in /etc/mail/mailer.conf to sendmail /usr/local/sbin/ssmtp send-mail /usr/local/sbin/ssmtp mailq /usr/local/sbin/ssmtp newaliases /usr/local/sbin/ssmtp hoststat /usr/bin/true purgestat /usr/bin/true Regards Björn
