I need the same functionality of sendmail [snip] you might want to look at qmail just one more time... if you follow the documentation *exactly* as the author lays out, it is extremely easy to understand and configure. It even has FreeBSD specific instructions. The hardest part, I found, was finding that the documentation existed. So here it is: http://www.qmail.org/man/misc/INSTALL.txt All the files referred to in that document may be found by name here: http://www.qmail.org/man/misc/ All I have to say is that anyone who takes time to painstakingly document how to add *user accounts* for 5 different Unix variants for their program is doing a pretty thorough job. Example from INSTALL.ids: FreeBSD 2.2: # pw groupadd nofiles # pw useradd alias -g nofiles -d /var/qmail/alias -s /nonexistent # pw useradd qmaild -g nofiles -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent # pw useradd qmaill -g nofiles -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent # pw useradd qmailp -g nofiles -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent # pw groupadd qmail # pw useradd qmailq -g qmail -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent # pw useradd qmailr -g qmail -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent # pw useradd qmails -g qmail -d /var/qmail -s /nonexistent --devin -- Devin Smith | Master of nothing in particular http://127.0.0.1 | devin-freebsdquestions@rintrah.org "How many people do *you* know whose mail server can handle 650MB email attachments?"
