I got it working, and managed to get courier-imap working as well. The only problem (big problem?) is that I had to chmod 777 /var/mail to get it all working together. I'm trying to figure out what permissions I can give it to ensure that postfix and courier-imap can work together...but neither one seems to work with regular permissions. I think I've got them in the correct groups and everything, but I'm not sure. It's not a HUGE deal at this point, because I'm the only user on the system, and don't intend to let anyone else have shell access. Still, I'd like to have things set up correctly. I would have figured that the way FreeBSD installed it would have worked...apparently not.
