I think that a possible problem is in base postfix vs pkgsrc postfix, i.e.: - /etc/mailer.conf was adjusted to use pkgsrc postfix - /etc/postfix/ is probably only honored by base postfix, not pkgsrc postfix. Configuration files for the latter should be under /usr/pkg/etc instead - /etc/rc.d/postfix will start base postfix, not pkgsrc one So I think that if you prefer to use pkgsrc postfix the following will be needed: - adjust configuration files in /usr/pkg/etc - overwrite /etc/rc.d/postfix with /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/postfix
