Most freebsd machines are not used as mail servers. DMA is small and fast and adequate to handle mail from a stub system that might have a local mailbox or two and relays the rest of the mail to a smarthost. If you do want to run a mail server, you probably want to use postfix or exim so you don't have to deal with sendmail's antique and rococo configuration system. Having sendmail preinstalled just gets in the way. R's, John
