Thanks, that is what I did. I had to modify the
/usr/local/lib/smtpd.conf file, but that was about it.
I do have one question though. The rc.d file has 'pam' listed rather
than sasldb for the '-a ' flag. I changed it there although the
directions said not too. Is there any reason that changing it in the rc.d
file is a bad thing? I could not figure out what it meant to do
otherwise. Was I suppose to create another file that would override that
one? If so, what was the syntax of the file suppose to be? Anyway, it
works, so that is all I am really interested in at the moment.
Ciao!
