Thanks for all the help, well I am probably just going to start out fresh by installing 4.2-release... so after booted up, I should:
0. Check the /etc/services and make sure smtp-ssl 465/tcp is defined. 1. add the cyrus-sasl package 2. re-compile sendmail with -DSASL (add WANT_SMTPAUTH= yes in /etc/mk.conf) 3. set up up SMTP AUTH with sendmail client (AuthInfo option in sendmail, and setting the smarthost entry in sendmail.cf) My ISP doesn't support standard STARTTLS in port 25... only smtp-ssl. (in fact they have blocked port 25, but can unblock it at request.) And thanks for web interface suggestions like webmin! I however like to at least give this a fair go in the hopes of that I can actually learn to manage a Unix box. -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
