It taught me a thing or two about sendmail. I'm used to the sendmail setup from older Slackware Linux versions - where UUCP and smarthosts work right out of the box (with no need to generate your own sendmail.cf). With all the trouble I'm having with our mail/news server (presently running Linux), the stuff from the FAQ has removed the only impediment to moving it to FreeBSD. Matt
