Things changed in the way postfix is installed,  In particular old ports =

required sendmail_enable=3D"YES" and some substitutions to various=20
sendmail commands.

To be sure you did the right thing you would have to look at the=20
pkg-message *from the version of the port that you installed*.

An old port should work, but you have to make sure that you followed the =

instructions from that port.

I can't tell whether this is the case for you or not.

Either way, it might help to get the latest version of the port (either=20
cvsup/portsnap/csup, or just downloading the latest port from=20
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=3Dpostfix&stype=3Dname and=20
download whichever version it is you have and overwrite the version in=20
/usr/ports (after backing it up :-))
