Hello,
I have been going nuts trying to get a remote POP/SMTP mail server to work
on 6.2-RELEASE. My mx and cnames are hosted at dyndns. I have tried exim,
postfix and sendmail along with courier imap as the pop. Is there any good
docs that can get me going?
I appreciate any help
Thank You!

I have been reading this thread and have decided I am confused [certainly would
not be first time]. :) Sendmail is the "official" FreeBSD MTA and postfix
written by Wietse Venema while on a sabbatical from IBM is designed to be a
"drop-in" replacement. Either of those should work "out of the box".
If you want a mail server as a single user, there is little to do other than set
the correct options in /etc/rc/conf. I use sendmail, which I find has been
improved to the point that when I can finally (probably) add to the rule sets, I
see no reason to do so.
Perhaps if you say what you have tried and how that failed, you can get some
specific advice on things to do. There are numberous FreeBSD howto's for
sendmail, so with respect to all the other MTA's its not a bad place to start
assuming you are new to Unix and/or administering a server.
BTW as a final though if you are connecting via DSL or cable, it could be that
some (all?) of your problems are from restrictions/rules imposed by your
provider.
