Since qmail has a sendmail wrapper to begin with, as noted above, and it is put in as a replacement (marking the original to sendmail.old), in /usr/lib/sendmail, and /usr/sbin/sendmail why would you need the above in mailer.conf? > This makes setting up non-sendmail mailers quite a bit easier.

Any non-sendmail mailer, I am assuming you mean those which require the input of an actual SMTP source, can of course be set for SMTP as localhost, 127.0.0.1, or the actual LAN IP address. BTW, the actual example script given on lifewithqmail.org for creating groups and users for qmail, is for FreeBSD. -- Gary _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
