Thanks for the reply. FreeBSD 7 is excellent. Applause to the Developers. I have been using FreeBSD since 2. something. Is there a good how to set up spam assassin for FreeBSD? Most I have tried have no FreeBSD specific file placements listsed and I can't get it to work. ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + [EMAIL PROTECTED] + + http://internetohana.org - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* + "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It may take a few minutes before a message gets through, but that depends on how often the *sending* server retries. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Test on FreeBSD site
Aloha, How long does it take for a test to be accepted or rejected on the FreeBSD test mail box? Is three minutes normal for a test to pop up? I had some FreeBSD 7 config issues and this nearly caused me to think I hadn't cleared the problem because it took quite a while to pop up.
