i actually found exim with the suggestion from mike182
pacman -Ss smtp.
i would never expected exim as a substitute with out doin a bunch of reading, reading, reading.
BTW, i am building packages for my 2gig Celeron using pentium4 optimizations. It is going pretty well so far. If I run into a package that just won't build I just use a i686 package from the repo till i can figure out the small bugs in PKGBUILDs.
i'm also building for my i586 amd-k6 probably going to be used someday in my gateway/router using a CF-to-IDE convertor for a super low power silent system.
thanks for the responses,

i figured as much. i have been substituting x-server with xorg in PKGBUILDS but the smtp-server i was a bit confused on which one to use. i will try the pacman -Ss smtp like you suggested.
maybe the PKGBUILDS will eventually come around
cheers,
slyski
pacman -S xorg
and then a :
pacman -Ss smtp
and then choose your smtp server.

]]>smtp-server
x-server
at least these two come up as 'builddeps' ever so often in building packages using makeworld or makepkg but they don't exist in the cvs tree. php is one such package that doesn't get built for example.
thanks,
