Hiya,

I'm running 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8, so I'm not sure my comments apply to 4.10.

Hello. Running FreeBSD 4.10. I am using Mutt as my MUA
and want to use Postfix as my MTA. I have the
following in my /etc/rc.conf (This is everything
related to my network settings)

hostname="bsdjunky.homeunix.org"
ifconfig_xl0="inet my.ip.address netmask
255.255.255.0"
pccard_ifconfig="inet my.ip.address netmask
255.255.255.0"
kern_securelevel="NO"
sshd_enable="NO"
gateway_enable="YES"
hostname="bsdjunky.homeunix.org"
portmap_enable="NO"
network_interfaces="auto"
rwhod_enable="YES"
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_profile="pppoe"
ppp_mode="background"
sendmail_enable="NO"


I only have the above line regarding to sendmail (Though I'm not sure if it is important or not. I just keep it in there since it's working). Remember, the sendmail executable is replaced during the postfix installation. You will NEED sendmail executable to maintain compatibility with other programs. If you check out the man page of sendmail, you'll see this:

NAME
      sendmail - Postfix to Sendmail compatibility interface

sendmail_flags="-bd"
sendmail_pidfile="/var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"


So you might want to consider to remove the above lines.

In /etc/periodic.conf

daily_clean_hoststat_enable="NO"
daily_status_mail_rejects_enable="NO"
daily_status_include_submit_mailq="NO"
daily_submit_queuerun="NO"


5.2.1. doesn't have the /etc/periodic.conf file, (at least, I don't have it, so I assume that it has changed) but you might want to consider to enable that.

I have no experience with PPP or PPPoE at all, so I'm afraid I can't help you with that.

I hope this helps you a bit.

Jorn
