I know there has been some discussion to be able to choose your base MTA upon install but I don't know how far this has gone. I don't use that option but rather install it as a regular port, register it in mailer.conf when it asks you to and then do this in your rc.conf sendmail_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO" postfix_enable="YES" I haven't used the INST_BASE option out of fear that it might give me trouble on building world and upgrading. Also a new approach I'm taking is using EzJail for "service jails" so use a pure MTA jail and use the base sendmail as a relay to that. For the time being I'm using posfix on the base system to relay but in the future I plan to do it with the native sendmail and only use postfix on the MTA service jail. -- Alejandro Imass > -- > Janos Dohanics > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
