In fact, the two ports clash on one file: =20 Until recently there was a port called filtermail which was renamed =20 from mailfilter due to a name conflict. It was recently deleted due to =20 not being staged but I recently got it working again and submitted a =20 PR =20 suggesting that my modified version of the original port might be =20 reinstated in the ports tree. I don't know if that will happen or not =20 but if you look at the makefile attached to the PR you might be able =20 to use the same technique for renaming the port and relevant files. =20 -- =20 Mike Clarke =20
