I'm puzzled by the manual page admonition: "...dma is not intended as a replacement for real, big MTAs...." What are the constraints preventing its use for receiving external mail? It looks as if simply setting it to listen on port 25 will do the job. The host in question is private, with one real user (me) and four email accounts. Total traffic flow is a few messages per day, mostly from the FreeBSD mailing lists. My interest stems in part from the need to occasionally correspond with gmail users. I find explicit instructions for setting up dma for this purpose but have yet to find similar instruction for sendmail. Thanks for reading and any guidance. Descriptions of setting up dma with similar goals in mind would be very helpful. bob prohaska
