The key word in that message is " MAY" . May means optional. If there is a sendmail/postfix compatible problem the message should state so and that this is a temp work around. If this was caused because a new version of sendmail being integrated into FBSD 4.6, then what is the problem with conveying that information in the message It looks to me as if the sendmail -A option has either been added or removed and postfix has not been changed to be compatible with sendmail any longer. Please use the pkg-message file to it's fullest. There is no limit on the size of this file, so load it up with all the info an user of this port will need to understand why the port install has changed and what and why additional manual customization is necessary. This is not a problem unique to postfix. I have experienced this lack of information transfer with other ports as well. Some kind of port documentation standard or check list needs to be created so sufficient info transfer occurs to the port installer. So since 2 repliers have responded that the solution is to do what the pkg-message says, I take that to mean the word "MAY" should be read as "MUST". Thanks for letting me vent my frustrations to people who are in the position to change the way things are done.
