completed by: passstab

mentors: PÁLI Gábor János, Gavin Atkinson

Description of task

The FreeBSD handbook chapter on electronic mail explains how to use the alpine mailer. However, the screenshots in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mail-agents.html section need to be updated to show current version of alpine instead of pine 4.58. The security warning also needs to be revisited whether it is still relevant.

Task requires:


A FreeBSD system (in a VirtualBox Virtual Machine) installed on your computer. 
Knowledge of the documentation guidelines for the FreeBSD project: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/
