Has anybody created a port or should I > go ahead and have a look at it? 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. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 4.0-CURRENT #70: Sat Feb 27 09:43:08 CET 1999 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
