Pkg handles the registration of ports/pkgs alike so not sure if I can query if a port was built from source or as a pkg. I don't think I have installed many from source, just postfix for certain. That may have been unduly hasty. Further analysis tells me pkg might not be where this originated. A lot of the files in /usr/local/etc/postfix were touched on a date and time when I wasn't available to do that=E2=80=A6so that's interesting. This morning I f= ound that some files were touched at 14:08 on Monday Oct 3. I looked at the weekly mirror/backup and the same files are all dated Sept 6 when I got this all working again. Nothing should have changed between then and now. --00000000000057a17805ea8e3e8b Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div dir=3D"ltr"><br></div><div class=3D"gmail_quote"><div= dir=3D"ltr" class=3D"gmail_attr">On Sat, Oct 8, 2022 at 3:34 PM Pat Maddox= <<a href=3D"mailto:pat@patmaddox.com">pat@patmaddox.com</a>> wrote:<= br></div><blockquote class=3D"gmail_quote" style=3D"margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8e= x;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,2= 04,204);padding-left:1ex">Do you use pkg only, or do you have a mix of port= s and packages?
