As you can see, file /etc/mail/aliases was modified (target of symlink)

Above is with postfix-2.5.6,1 on FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE #0: Fri May 1
08:49:13 UTC 2009 GENERIC i386
This is with new postfix-2.6.1,1:
# postconf -d | grep aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
This was introduced with ports/134728, in which ALIAS_DB_MAP is compiled
in as hash:/etc/mail/aliases. I've rolled this back to the default value,
which is system-dependent and chosen by ${WRKSRC}/src/util/sys_defs.h, which
in turn relies on the ${WRKSRC}/makedefs script.
newaliases_path = /usr/local/bin/newaliases
This is intentional and a good thing. In mail/postfix prior to 2.6.x, the
change was made in main.cf instead of being compiled in as a default; this
is why you do not see it when viewing the *default* postconf output in 2.5.x;
try postconf newaliases_path (i.e. without the -d flag).
And this is with older postfix-2.5.6,1:
# postconf -d | grep aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
There is definitely incompatible change in defaults :o(
Indeed. The attached patch (also filed as ports/135273) updates Postfix to
2.6.2 and makes the aforementioned changes. As a result, I don't think we
need to touch ports/UPDATING.
Thank you for fixing this issue.
It is always good to have it in UPDATING as some users still have 2.6.1
in their ports tree.
