postfix, group mail, maildrop, postfixTo use postfix instead of sendmail: - clear sendmail queue and stop the sendmail daemons Run the following commands to enable postfix during startup: - sysrc postfix_enable="YES" - sysrc sendmail_enable="NONE" If postfix is *not* already activated in /usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf - mv /usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf /usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf.old - install -d /usr/local/etc/mail - install -m 0644 /usr/local/share/postfix/mailer.conf.postfix /usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf Disable sendmail(8) specific tasks, add the following lines to /etc/periodic.conf(.local): daily_clean_hoststat_enable="NO" daily_status_mail_rejects_enable="NO" daily_status_include_submit_mailq="NO" daily_submit_queuerun="NO" If you are using SASL, you need to make sure that postfix has access to read the sasldb file. This is accomplished by adding postfix to group mail and making the /usr/local/etc/sasldb* file(s) readable by group mail (this should be the default for new installs).
If you are upgrading from prior postfix version, please see the README files for recommended changes to your configuration and additional http://www.postfix.org/COMPATIBILITY_README.html Incompatible change with snapshot 20200920 ========================================== Internal protocols have changed. You need to "postfix stop" before updating, or before backing out to an earlier release, otherwise long-running daemons (pickup, qmgr, verify, tlsproxy, postscreen) may fail to communicate with the rest of Postfix (warnings, timeouts). The purpose of this change is to produce better error messages, for example, when someone configures the discard daemon as a bounce service in master.cf, or vice versa. This change will break third-party code that implements a Postfix-internal protocol such as qpsmtpd. Programs that depend on Postfix internal details are not supported.
If you remove postfix permanent, adjust / remove the the following file: - /usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf

Submitted by: "David W. Chapman Jr." <dwcjr@inethouston.net> MAINTAINER592bc518f4Fix [pre,post]-install to use pkg-install script properly. Use forward ticks instead of double quotes for the replace message to get rid of the backquote hack. PR: 21349 (related to it anyway) Submitted by: Yarema <yds@dppl.com>f93aefe2d4
Update to snapshot 20001030. Use real make(1) .for (instead of @for) loops. Fix occasional breakage when CC contains spaces. Remove manpages from the PLIST. Remove miscellaneous erroneous lines from PLIST. Use proper WITH_* PLIST_SUBs. Consolidate .if defined(WITH_*)'s. Add iteration for CONF* files in their two separate locations as well as BIN*. Use absolute paths in install script. Han PR: 21439, 22409 Submitted by: Yarema <yds@dppl.com> David W. Chapman Jr. <dwcjr@inethouston.net> Approved by: MAINTAINER65eaaf5277

also, change ${SH} to /bin/sh, the former probably doesn't work because
of some bsd.{pre,post}.port.mk thing, but I don't have time to diagnose it.e401371e9bUse ${SH} to execute ${PKGDIR}/INSTALL
