So if sendmail is a pkg/port, it would still have those features ? Is a pkg install sendmail such a huge step ? And btw, even if sendmail has all those features, I can tell you that even when I first attend my first sendmail workshop, approx. 27 years ago, I still would not know how to implement them with sendmail. > I were an MX administrator.

Oh, btw, if sendmail can do all this, wouldn't it be useful to have a suitable config that does all this right out of the box ? Because, honestly, I would not know how to enable all those features... > True. But if I'm selling a Server targeted OS. Don't I want to > advocate server grade services? But the distribution channel of the software for that service (base or port) does not sound as the relevant factor for the end-user, or does it ? -- p...@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 3 years to go ! _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
