This is done > automatically by postfix. Yes. When I reinstalled postfix, it asked me if I want to enable postfix in mailer.conf. I answered YES. Here is my mailer.conf: messias# cat /etc/mail/mailer.conf # # Execute the Postfix sendmail program, named /usr/local/sbin/sendmail # sendmail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail send-mail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail mailq /usr/local/sbin/sendmail newaliases /usr/local/sbin/sendmail > If your version is not current, you might want to update it. messias# pkg_info | grep postfix postfix-2.3.5,1 A secure alternative to widely-used Sendmail I know it is not the newest, but should work. I rebooted the machine, but it did not help. By the way, I do NOT want postfix to listen on TCP/25. I have to use an ssh tunnel. But I would like to be able to deliver e-mail messages locally. Here is what I did for now: - deinstalled postfix - changed mailer.conf back to the original version - disabled postfix and re-enabled sendmail in rc.conf - started sendmail with "/etc/rc.d/sendmail start" And it works! But why couldn't I do this with postfix? Thanks, Laszlo
