>Description:
Building port mail/postfix-current (and mail/postfix) with WITH_BDB_VER=6
fails, claiming that Postfix does not support Berkeley DB version 6.

Poudriere reports:

 =>> [04] Finished build of mail/postfix-current:
  Ignored: cannot install:
  does not work with Berkeley DB version 6 (6 not supported)

 =>> [02] Finished build of mail/postfix:
  Ignored: cannot install:
  does not work with Berkeley DB version 6 (6 not supported)

I know that Wietse recently lifted the (artificial) restriction on
BDB version 6, realizing that its API seems to be compatible with
version 5, at least as far as postfix is concerned. I tried the
current mail/postfix-current with current db6-6.0.20 from ports
and it does work just fine, so I'm suggesting to remove the
restriction from mail/postfix-current.

Haven't tried with mail/postfix though. Apart from the artificial
restriction, there is no other good reason that it wouldn't work.

Build the postfix port(s) (e.g. in Poudriere).
