Sendmail is part of the base system (there's also a port), and postfix and qmail are both in the ports tree. If you're not looking to install anything additional, you should consider using sendmail since it's there already and works out of the box as long as it's enabled. - jim -- - jim mock - O|S|D|N - open source development network - - http://www.freebsdzine.org/ - jim@freebsdzine.org - jim@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
