what is the way to either remove the stored configuration file, or to manually pass the parameters to make. A look at the Makefile and the other files in /usr/ports/mail/postfix didn't turn up any hints. You can either: make rmconfig or just: make config Then re-build/install it.

Re: completly remove (or modify) a port
Look in /var/db/ports. Removing the postfix directory or the options file in that directory should do the trick. jw --On Wednesday, April 18, 2007 12:16:28 -0600 Ray [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all, I have been trying to work with postfix from the ports collection.
