I can receive mail using fetchmail, and I can browse the internet and install ports. I changed this in my configuration: Old situation: I used MPD netgraph to access the internet using PPTP with my Alcatel SpeedTouch modem. New situation: I did the tweak as described on http://www.sateh.com/hacks/alcatel.php and upgraded my modem to the pro version, so it can use PPP instaed of PPTP. In addition I enabled the DHCP server in the modem. I enabled DHCP as described in the handbook. (add bpf to the kernel and add ifconfig_ed0="DHCP" to /etc/rc.conf Last I upgraded to 4.6.2 from 4.6.1. Everything works fine except postfix. Questions: -Why isn't postfix able to send mail? -Why does the rest work? I haven't kernel or userland PPP. When trying to install PPPoE I found out I already could access the internet and receive mail.
