okay, so i have spent the past 3 days trying to setup a personal mailing
system under freebsd 11.2.

i have grown to hate the stateful nature of "mutt" and relish the fond
memories of "MH".

but, i have been unable to find material about how to setup a MH based
mailing system for personal use, for that matter, i have been unable to
locate a package for MH, is it listed under a different name like
heirloom or something?

could someone please help me understand the nitty-grities of getting a
personal mail system setup under freebsd?

thanks,

~mayuresh

ps1: don't know anything about networking or sendmail.
ps2: writing this email via mutt under debian.
