What is Postfix using PostgreSQL for? Is there a reason why you are not
using the most current version of PostgreSQL?

I've been trying to find some documentation on setting up Postfix to
use PostgreSQL on FreeBSD. There seems to be a lot of documentation
on doing it with mySQL, but I can't seem to find anything using
PostgreSQL. Does anyone here have any documentation, suggestions, or
pointers to web sites? I'm working with FBSD 4.9, PostgreSQL 7.2,
and Postfix 2.15.
TIA,
Bill

Thanks for responding, Ryan, but I'm confused. I have managed to start
postgres with a user I called pgsql. The install appears to do that
with a user called postgres but doesn't reference postfix. How do I
tell postfix that I want to use postgres?
Thanks
Bill
