Did u disable sendmail in rc.conf, b4 make install postfix? U also need qpopper for pop-mail. www.postfix.org show some good info. In how to config the main.cf for postfix You start or stop postfix with : postfix start, postfix stop , you can learn more from those man/info file After that you probally will have relay problem, then go www.postfix.org FAQ page. It show you how to fix that.
