I'm not sure how much these conflict, but we'd have a better chance if both were context diffs, I'm not sure if either are now as it has been a while since I checked last. -------- AFAICT, the conflicts between the postfix TLS patch and IPv6 patch are not necessarily FreeBSD-specific, but are caused by a conflict between the generic postfix TLS patch and the IPv6 patch. This may be due in part to the fact that the postfix TLS patch itself is not part of the official postfix release. So we have a port on top of a patch on top of another patch on top of a base distribution. Anybody that finds a fix, or even figures out what the cause of the problem is, probably should notify the general postfix TLS patch maintainer at http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/pfixtls/ --Lucky, who is very much looking forward to being able to use postfix with both TLS and IPv6, but who is wondering if this discussion even belongs in freebsd-stable, since postfix is part of the ports collection and (unfortunately ;) not part of the base FreeBSD release.
