The right way is to install postfix from the ports and do a "make replace" when you are done. Then "killall sendmail" and restart it. In FreeBSD, /usr/sbin/sendmail is really a wrapper that can start sendmail, postfix, qmail and probably others. It takes any sendmail commands and reformats them for he mailer being used. It's a very slick system,, but you want to start sendmail, so the sendmail_enable="NO" is not appropriate. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
