smtpd(8) is underway. Also there is no proper MTA implementation out there served under the BSD license (i.e. Postfix has IBM license). Unbound (and also nsd) is a good and lightweight alternative to sendmail using the BSD license. License stuff is more important than it sounds. IMO the separate development of a resolver (unbound) and an authoritive nameserver (nsd) is better than having all functionality within one server (named). -- Oliver PETER oli...@opdns.de 0x456D688F
