Well, that was your 2cents to the discussion. We all have a right to a opinion and we all are on different levels of knowledge and might have different milestones when learning. Some times I like to dig deeper, and some times I just want something up'n running as fast as possible in a somewhat safe and secure way. Then taking care of the "why and what's." I've been running both Sendmail and Postfix for years without any major difficulties, but this is my first try on OpenSMTP. After a couple of days of googling, I found this article : https://poolp.org/posts/2018-05-21/switching-to-opensmtpd-new-config/ and got very surprised that none of the "know better's" didn't know about this, or didn't care to enlighten me and pointing me in this direction. This was exactly what I was looking for. /Hasse
