I am currently on the last stages of setting up a FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE

is to say i have no purpose for a mail server other than to handle
mail from things like periodic and to move that mail elsewhere.
Can this be easily accomplished? If so are there any guides/how-to's?
I have done a search around my usual BSD sites and books and found
nothing that is easily modified to my circumstances.
Thanks, Dylan.
It can be done, but it's a PITA with Sendmail. Look into
/usr/ports/mail/ssmtp. We use it on our systems here where we need to
simply get root's email off the box. Simple configuration file, works
well.

Thanks for that little suggestion.
Would this mean that i could just disable sendmail
totally(sendmail_enable="none")?
Dylan.
