Please wait a few days if you insist on a port, Wietse will release a new
version with quite a number of new features. In any case, a Postfix port
will not be very difficult to do.
There is no "make install" target in the main Makefile so you'll have to
roll your own. Put all the post* commands in /usr/sbin along with the
sendmail binary (to replace the real Sendmail), don't forget the mailq &
newaliases links, put the other binaries in /usr/libexec/postfix and
install a sample /etc/postfix/main.cf with the proper paths.
It would be nice to put the HTML documentation in "share/postfix" and to
make a nice set of main.cf's defaults with anti-spam and no relaying.
Ask Jonathan Bresler (our postmaster, jmb@freebsd.org), he started patching
Postfix to add a "make install" target.
You could patch it to install in ${PREFIX}/etc/postfix but I really think
that /etc/postfix is better (it is standard).
I still think it should be in /usr/src/contrib and replace sendmail.
