Mail vs SMTP [newbieish tendencies]
Hi - I've got a FreeBSD machine from which I can use 'Mail' to send emails to any internet email address. However when I try to use it as a SMTP server from within the LAN the connection times out. I'm sure there are many places I could look for a solution but I just wanted to check one thing. If I can use 'Mail' to send emails does this imply that the FreeBSD box is running a SMTP server which could send mail on behalf of clients (within the LAN)? Thanks Richard Shea.

No. Sendmail can be run in different modes. It's likely that yours is configured for local mail submission only. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
