Sendmail 8.6.something (8.6.12? Well, a recent one, anyway) is
included in the basic installation, so you can send and receive mail
right away. The ports/packages collections also have a variety of
clients and servers for your user (Web, news, mail, FTP, IRC, gopher,
etc.) For Web service, I personally recommend the Apache server, but
CERN and NCSA also work well. If you want to blow some big bucks
(perhaps with the money you saved by going with FreeBSD ;-)), the
Netscape servers all work under FreeBSD too.
Check the ports/packages collections. Whatever software you need
is probably already there.
