What I needed was a version 5.9 as distributed not a hero's advanced version already heading to 6.0. That is for developers and I respect them but they are not for me: I'm not that smart. There are some (apart from the 5.9+ code) which are not for me as they are (a) not 5.9 code or (b) not polished trying to try for 5.9 I would love to see someone reply telling me that I have bad eyes and a 5.9 is running and it's getting it correct. Meanwhile I have to bring up a new server and Postfix seems to be the only candidate. At least I can build a mailserver that works on that. Sorry for the noise Rod/ Rod/ >From the land "down under": Australia. Do we look from up over?
Re: OpenSMTPD on OpenBSD 5.9
Maybe you should ask whoever is running that site to update it. The closest thing from an official recipe is from the official openSMTPD website: https://opensmtpd.org/faq/example1.html You should start from there and take particular attention that "The following is not a copy and paste guide. You should know what you are doing and read the man pages." With your postfix experience I believe you won't have much of a problem.

Perhaps >your old postfix configuration as well. > What I am trying to achieve is a copy of the up-to-date instructions. As I said the most recent copy is around 5.6. I am running 5.9. The most recent recipe is written by someone who makes considerable mods and I like to refrain from making changes until I find a change that appears to have a solid reason. Postfix is no help in getting OpenSMTPD working. Believe me and I've been running Postfix since about OpenBSD 2.5 and doing it for some large businesses. The present instructions for OpenSMTPD go likes this: 1 Install some packages (3) 2 Create Maildir Crash. Well it doesn't work as it is suppose to. Study further and realise that you need up to date instructions. So try to install 5.9 OpenBSD and run http://puffysecurity.com/wiki/opensmtpd.html Lots-a-luck.
