No. sendmail_enable="YES" will start the currently configured MTA, be it postfix, sendmail, qmail, or some other that mailwrapper handles. What is required is that mailer.conf be changed to point at postfix. This is normally done by responding to the query from the installation script that asks if you want postfix to replace sendmail as the MTA. 'make replace' is no longer in use. /etc/mail/mailer.conf should contain: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/mail/mailer.conf,v 1.2 1999/12/29 18:24:06 peter Exp $ # # 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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
