>+    
>+    <para>There are many instances where you may only want to send
>+      mail through a relay. Some examples are:</para>
>+      
>+    <itemizedlist>
>+      <listitem>
>+    <para>Your computer is a desktop machine, but you'll want to use FreeBSD
>+      programs such as &man.send-pr.1;.  To do so, you should use your ISP's
>+      mail relay.</para>
>+      </listitem>
>+      
>+      <listitem>
>+    <para>The computer is a server that does not handle mail locally, but needs
>+      to pass off all mail to a relay for processing.</para>
>+      </listitem>
>+    </itemizedlist>
>+    
>+    <para>Just about any MTA is capable of filling this particular niche.
>+      Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to properly configure a full-
>+      featured MTA to properly handle just offloading mail.  Programs such
>+      as <application>sendmail</application> and
>+      <application>postfix</application> are largely overkill for this use.
>+    </para>
>+    
>+    <para>Additionally, if you're using a typical Internet access service, your
>+      agreement may forbid you from running a "mail server".</para>
>+      
>+    <para>The easiest way to fulfill these needs is to install the
>+      <filename role="package">mail/ssmtp</filename> port.  Execute the
>+      following commands as root:</para>
>+      
>+    <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>cd /usr/ports/mail/ssmtp
>+&prompt.root; make install && make replace && make clean</userinput></screen>
>+
>+    <para>Once installed, <filename role="package">mail/ssmtp</filename> can
>+      be configured with a four-line file in
>+      <filename>/usr/local/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf</filename></para>
>+        
>+    <programlisting>
>+root=yourrealeamil@yourisp.com
>+mailhub=mail.yourisp.com
>+rewriteDomain=yourisp.com
>+hostname=_HOSTNAME_</programlisting>
>+
>+    <para>Make sure you use your real email address for
>+      <literal>root=</literal>.  Enter your ISP's outgoing mail relay in place
>+      of <literal>mail.yourisp.com</literal> (some ISPs call this the
>+      "outgoing mail server" or "smtp server").</para>
>+        
>+    <para>Make sure you disable <application>sendmail</application> by entering
>+      <programlisting>sendmail_enable="NONE"</programlisting> in
>+      <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename>.</para>
>+        
>+    <para><filename role="package">mail/ssmtp</filename> has some other
>+      options available.  See the example config file in
>+      <filename>/usr/local/etc/ssmtp</filename> or the manual page for
>+      <application>ssmtp</application>.</para>
>+      
>+    <para>Setting up <application>ssmtp</application> in this manner will allow any
>+      software on your computer that needs to send mail to function properly,
>+      while not violating your ISP's usage policy or allowing your computer to
>+      be hijacked for spamming.</para>
