I use FreeBSD with Postfix via the ports system sans problems. Is there some specific problem you are experiencing using that method? Unlike other distros, FreeBSD usually has the latest stable and development versions available within a few days of the product's actual release date. I don't know of any other distro that makes available updates to Postfix anywhere near as quickly as that. Some (names with held to protect the guilty) as still issuing versions that have been superseded years ago as their latest offering. -- Jerry ✌ postfix-u...@seibercom.net _____________________________________________________________________ TO REPORT A PROBLEM see http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail TO (UN)SUBSCRIBE see http://www.postfix.org/lists.html Atlanta makes it against the law to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole or street lamp.
