At the end of the installion script I was asked if it should modify the /etc/mail/mailer.conf file which I answered with yes! My question is, how is postfix started? It did not install a .sh file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Is still started with the sendmail_enable="yes" variable in rc.conf or do I have to set sendmail_enable="NONE", and add something different to use postfix? What other "specific freebsd" files do I have to or should I modify when using postfix (for example like make.conf)? Where can I find more info when using postfix on freebsd?
