You should start by reading this: http://openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#PkgMgmt
Just set your PKG_PATH variable and then it's a simple 'pkg_add' to install your favorite MTA: # export PKG_PATH=ftp://your.ftp.mirror/pub/OpenBSD/4.1/packages/`machine -a`/ # pkg_add -i exim OR # pkg_add -i postfix OR # pkg_add -i whatever -Jd On 6/4/07, Douglas Allan Tutty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello, I'm totally new to OBSD and have it installed on my 486 which acts basically like a slim client allowing me to ssh in to my main box. OBSD comes with sendmail which I have never knowingly used before and while it works as-is for local mail delivery, I thought I'd set it up to send non-local mail to my main box as a smarthost. However, sendmail is a very steep and tall learning curve. I'm coming from Debian (which no longer installes with 32 MB ram) so I'm used to exim. I know that exim is GPL. I'm wondering if there are other BSD-licensed MTAs. While in this case, setting up outgoing mail isn't important, I'm using the box also as a test-bed to see how well OBSD would work instead of Debian on my main box. Being able to configure mail in that case is quite important, since without it I can't ask for help :) Thanks, Doug.
