It's not *that* hard if one reads the example files in /etc/mail, and the relevant Handbook section. If it is, then it's a bug of the documentation and I'd be glad to see PRs submitted with descriptions of the problems that users have found.

postfix on freebsd is apparently more efficient than qmail, though. no comment on that (lest we revive deep rooted animosity between the two camps)... If you are looking at the qmail solution, check out the following. Provides a complete package from a multiple domain mail solution... great starting point. Then you can tweak once you are familiar with all the ports/componants. http://matt.simerson.net/computing/mail/toaster/ Cheers, Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
