I have been making some progress on this. Doc'ing it as I go, so I can ideally give back to that wiki page something a little more comprehensive.

On start of postfix, I get two errors:
r...@catalyst:/opt/local/etc/postfix/ $postfix start
postsuper: warning: bogus file name: maildrop/.turd_postfix
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by _postfix: /opt/local/var/ lib/postfix/./.turd_postfix
postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system

Seems to start ok, and I can change the permissions to solve it. Is there any harm in deleting the poop? I think those tell ports to not delete a directory, so by doing so, I could break something later on down the road?

Should this be filed as a ticket to make sure those permissions get set correctly?

Hello, I have been trying for a few weeks on and off, and solid a few days to get a working postfix, dovecot system with macports, using mysql for auth.

Has anyone gotten this up and running? I believe I am stuck on the fact that I need sasl support in postfix and dovecot. I believe the current postfix and dovecot ports are not going to allow this to work.

The closest I can find ports related is http://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/SetupDovecot which is pretty out of date.

The rest of the data out there is pretty non OS X specific, and I believe the differences are getting me stuck. This one is particularly problematic is you can not entirely step through it one port at a time, since all the parts tend to hook into each other one way or another.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
