This questions comes up very often. You can find lots of reasons in one of the older threads about Sendmail, e.g. at: http://groups.google.com/group/fa.freebsd.stable/msg/166040f2d75547bc http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.freebsd.chat/msg/a9e850da1dba3fc2 http://groups.google.com/group/comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc/msg/39f14b08bb752ca7 http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.freebsd.current/msg/3b73a04c9f5e6a19 Sendmail is _already_ part of the ports/ BTW, and it supports many knobs to build custom versions of Sendmail with or without IPv6, milter, NIS, SASL, TLS or LDAP support, and so on: keram...@kobe:/usr/ports/mail$ more sendmail/Makefile [...] # Options to define Features: # SENDMAIL_WITHOUT_IPV6=yes # SENDMAIL_WITHOUT_MILTER=yes # SENDMAIL_WITHOUT_NIS=yes [...] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
