At the end of the | installion script I was asked if it should modify the | /etc/mail/mailer.conf file which I answered with yes! | | My question is, how is postfix started? It did not install | a .sh file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. | | Is still started with the sendmail_enable="yes" variable in | rc.conf or do I have to set sendmail_enable="NONE", and add | something different to use postfix? | | What other "specific freebsd" files do I have to or should | I modify when using postfix (for example like make.conf)? | Where can I find more info when using postfix on freebsd? | | Thanks a lot | Didier | | ------------------------------ mailer.conf is used as a mail wrapper. since postfix is sendmailish, the other progs. are not affected since they think that they are talking to sendmail prog. but in reality postfix is running.
