I installed a brand new fresh freebsd system and installed the Postfix port= =20 from the Sysinstall program and it failed! Then I downloaded the latest Postfix .tgz from the FreeBSD.org ftp site and= =20 used pkg_add to it and it failed again! Maybe I'll try the compiling from source some other day! I did not see "tons" of doc on the postfix.org site. Sure there are some=20 but not as many as on the qmail.org site. I am a newbie to freebsd and I think extensive documentation from many=20 sources is very important so that's why I will still choose qmail over= postfix.
