I don't think I can answer this, since I don't know what the
configuration of your Postfix was before and what it is now.
Nothing happens 'mysteriously' though.
For example:
* Did you recently update FreeBSD *AND* update all your ports with
portupgrade or similar?
* If yes, did you backup your Postfix configuration?
* If you really did keep backup copies, can you show me the output of
diff(1) on the old main.cf and the new one?

Well, they do now.
Even if we can't find out why they didn't before, we currently know how
to fix this :)
