From: "Renaud Waldura" To: Cc: Subject: Re: ports/25967: Postfix port links against the static MySQL client library Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2001 12:06:32 -0700 I'm the originator of this PR; a word if I may... Please consider starting Postfix with its own /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix.sh. I personally never understood (until today) why this file wasn't created, and why my freshly installed Postfix was not started. I ended up writing the file myself. When I say "sendmail_enable=NO" in my /etc/rc.conf, as I always do, I mean precisely that, i.e. "do not enable f%ing sendmail, I want to use something else". I understand today this was done on purpose, in the hope to smoothly integrate Postfix into the base system. But I tend to believe that, like many users, when I choose Postfix, I do so *explicitely*, in full knowledge that I may encounter some quirks. While most (all?) of those quirks have now been taken care of by /etc/mail (kudos to the person who came up with this), it looks wrong to use "sendmail_enable" to enable Postfix. Either rename that variable to "smtpserver_enable" or something, or start Postfix separately. I trust the ports maintainers to come up with the best possible solution. Thank you for your time. --Renaud To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
