Hello folks, I would like to have a mail server running on my oh-so-humble 866MHz PIII FreeBSD 4.5 machine. I want to use sendmail (it is available as a package). I have a few questions to ask.
1. This is a standalone machine at home, I don't have any network cards. Do I need one? I can connect to the net using user PPP. 2. Being totally ignorant of networking, I disabled as much of networking as possible. ( I did a standard install). Do I need to have such thigs as DNS configured. 3. What about giving my computer a name - do I have to do that + do I have to give myself an IP address. 4. Any other networking detail? I am reading FreeBSD Unleashed which is quite detailed and helpful. I tried to look at the handbook, but what it says I need to read the networking chapter first, which makes no sense to me. Please help me out. Thanks in advance... keshav ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends? Get the FREE Yahoo!
