I am currently on the last stages of setting up a FreeBSD 6.2-

elsewhere. That is to say i have no purpose for a mail server other
than to handle mail from things like periodic and to move that mail
elsewhere.
Can this be easily accomplished? If so are there any guides/how-
to's? I have done a search around my usual BSD sites and books and
found nothing that is easily modified to my circumstances.
Thanks, Dylan.
It can be done, but it's a PITA with Sendmail. Look into /usr/ports/
mail/ssmtp. We use it on our systems here where we need to simply
get root's email off the box. Simple configuration file, works well.
