So, then we should add a web server into our base! Apache? NGINX? Both? But then, what about PHP? MySQL? PostgreSQL? We want to serve websites, after all! Let's talk about fileservers. Samba! I could go on... FreeBSD's power to serve slogan is about delivering the platform to serve, not all possible server software. It just happens to have a mail server in base because it always had, that's nothing that needs to be kept forever. Probably 99% of the users don't use sendmail and the remaining 1% know how to configure it, so installing them from ports is a trivial thing for them. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
