For such a simple config, you should really consider using Postfix. Its in the ports. Its very easy to set up and do exactly what you want. I did consider it (and also QMail which I get the impression is easier to configure than Postfix) but in this particular case it was a question of if we can do it on our server by changing some config files then do it - otherwise find some other offsite server to do it. In general however I take your point although my experience of any mail server is limited I do get the impression that SendMail is not the best choice unless there's some aspect of it you need badly. regards richard. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
