Anyone, We at Etseq in Melbourne are having problems with setting up our Unix box with FreeBSD as a mail server in order to send mail to and receive mail from outside clients. The following forwarded message attempts to give the details. If anyone has any brainstorms on what may be our problem, in particular proper setting up of POP3 and SMTP mail accounts on our mail server, this would be greatly appreciated.
