Update and mailforward.

2003-01-24 Thread Gannater Jnos
I have freeBSD 4.7 running on my computer.

Although I installed my system from the Mall CD's there have been a 
lot of updates relised by now. How can I update my program's on the 
computer and in the fututre the whole system? I have only a 90Mhz 
pentium processor. So downloading the source and installing the 
program from it would be a very hard thing for me. What do yo advice 
how should I upgrade my system?

I use sendmail. How can I forward my messages? I have an own 
domain and some of my users don't want to use the system's mail 
service they just want to forward the messages. How can they do this?
What do you think how secure is sendmail? Postfix is better...

Two choices:

1) Buy new CDs when they come out.
2) Download the source and upgrade that way.
   (Just plan to wait a couple of days for it to compile! ;-)

If you're not having any problems, option 1 is probably
the best one for you.

One option is to not forward your messages.  Rather,
install 'qpopper' or 'popper' from the ports and
let your users access their mailbox using any POP3-capable
email client (e.g., Outlook Express, Netscape Mail, Eudora, etc.)

For Qpopper:
Is it enought to install qpopper and enable it in the
inetd.conf file?
Should I run it somewhere?

Mailforward:
And how can I forward the messages? Except /etc/aliases file...

Unless you have a pretty heavily-loaded server, this
should be enough



Mailforward:

/etc/aliases works.  You can also allow users to place
.forward files in their individual home directories.
