That did the trick.
Femail is still failing, though.
I will look into that, I was fiddling quite a bit and I may need to put

I'll bring that back up later if it still fails.
I like smtpd a lot! Sendmail was a nightmare to set up!

newaliases rcctl stop smtpd rcctl start smtpd also to be sure.

I would like to know if using the tar method for file moving given in
duplication of file systems will be helpful or just get in the way?
As I asked in USB 3 question, are there any knobs to twist that can

Also, if you don't like reading man pages as they come up, read man

If you install Java 7, it has the medium security option still.
So it works. Really lousy internet connection here. I really pointed

I found a new server that uses IPMI and offers using it
to setup your own custom OS. So I bought in.
