When you installed postfix via pkg, did you install postfix, or postfix-sasl? The postfix port is flavoured: $ pkg search -r FreeBSD -x 'postfix(-.+)?-3.7.2' postfix-3.7.2_1,1 Secure alternative to widely-used Sendmail postfix-ldap-3.7.2_1,1 Secure alternative to widely-used Sendmail (with OpenLDAP and Cyrus SASL support) postfix-sasl-3.7.2_1,1 Secure alternative to widely-used Sendmail (with Cyrus SASL support)
