You missed the most obvious point. The basic FBSD install is
delivered with sendmail active. To get postfix to be the active mail
server you have to disable sendmail and reboot FBSD.

ADD this statement to your rc.conf file

sendmail_enable="NONE"          # Totally disable sendmail, allowing
Postfix
                                # to become the primary MTA.
                                                                #
(Mail transport agent)

Subject: Postfix problems

I tried to install postfix on my system (FreeBSD 5.0).
It compiles and installs fine (from ports), but it does not seem to
work.

nc host 25 gives a connection, but nothing else
Sending mail completely fails.

Am I missing something?
Is there a sendmail to postfix migration howto or something?
Googling did not provide me mucht helpful information.

Thanks

Guy
