Ah, sounds like you found a good reason NOT to use "projects" like this. "Do this, do that, download this, run that, *poof!* you have a mail server with no idea what you are doing!" Punchline: If you don't know what you are doing, don't run your own mail server. Please. If you build a web server and screw it up, generally, you only hurt yourself (depending how bad you do it, of course). However, an improperly maintained or used mail server hurts OTHER residents of the Internet. This is no defense for overly complex or "all wrong defaults" software, but the ability to build something using tools you don't understand is NOT doing anyone a favor. You have "built" something that you don't understand, and worse, CAN'T MAINTAIN. That mans your mail server is, right now, BROKE, you just aren't sure how it will show itself yet. You can't run the current release of OpenBSD (note that developers are to 5.1-beta now!), and that's unlikely to change in the future. Worse, WHEN it blows up on you, you won't be able to fix it (mail servers do this. They tend to quickly show the difference between real administrators and button-pushers). Why do you use OpenBSD? Perhaps because it gives you better than "Well, it seems to work, ship it!" construction. So..why do you settle for that with your finished project? Nick.
