Actually, I already had a go at it. A first version of the port can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.si.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/local/postfix.tar > There is no "make install" target in the main Makefile so you'll have to > roll your own.

I don't believe this is ok. No port should mess with anything with /usr/sbin or /usr/libexec. The port installs in /usr/local/sbin and /usr/local/libexec and the configuration is put into /usr/local/etc/postfix. I have included a script, which moves aside sendmail and replaced it with links to Postfix, the script can also be used to again activate sendmail. But the script is not called by default. > 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. The documentation is not yet being installed and I don't touch the main.cf (yet). Comments appreciated.
