For simple setups like yours I found 'qmail' suitable, and easy to maintain. 'fetchmail' (see ports-collection) supports the 'ETRN' way of getting the mail. You may easily setup a cron job doing it. > It would appear that SendMail could do what I want, but is this sure. > the best mail service (ease of use, support, features, etc...), But security and maintainability concerns lead one to simply avoid sendmail. For more complex situations or a really 'volume-oriented' setup I personally would jump into 'postfix'.
