)I want to set up my FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 system to send and receive mail to

I was able to get my sendmail up and running by looking in the sendmail
area of the sourcedist. There was some pretty good info there, as I recall.
You don't have to create a config file by scratch, as that there are some
sample m4 scripts that will do the grunt work for you.

I bought the O'Reilley book just in case, though. Unnecissary, but looks
good.
