Hello.

I am in the midst of connecting my LAN to the internet.  I have been
reading quite a bit about FreeBSD and Linux and from what I have found,
both seem to be good candidates for a server for sending mail out to the
internet.  I am thinking about using my ISP for access and DNS (have
dedicted 128k) and putting the Mail server in house and would like to
try using FreeBSD instead of using NT and purchasing a SMTP/POP server. 
Is this possible with the standard distribution? I have will be ordering
a copy of FreeBSD from Walnut Creek so that I can get some hands on
building (and re-building) a machine with FreeBSD  with network support.
