Habit, I guess, since ports did not reflect current versions of postfix and I have been handbuilding for several years. The critical items are to not build sendmail, and to block the sendmail startup calls in rc.? As good (and essential) as mergemaster is, it can still be a nuisance. Choose your poison? or maybe I took Perry's BUGS statement in mailwrapper too literally... despite the fact mailwrapper permits you to be multi-culturally schizophrenic, I'll do it my way ... it works; and it leaves no witnesses. -- If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
