I changed my rc.conf to this: >=20 > sendmail_enable=3D"NO" > postfix_enable=3D"YES" >=20 > Then I started postfix: You haven't configured it correctly. To enable postfix startup script please add postfix_enable=3D"YES" in your rc.conf If you not need Sendmail anymore, please add in your rc.conf: sendmail_enable=3D"NO" sendmail_submit_enable=3D"NO" sendmail_outbound_enable=3D"NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable=3D"NO" And you can disable some sendmail specific daily maintenance routines in your /etc/periodic.conf file: daily_clean_hoststat_enable=3D"NO" daily_status_mail_rejects_enable=3D"NO" daily_status_include_submit_mailq=3D"NO" daily_submit_queuerun=3D"NO" You also need to modify the /etc/mail/mailer.conf file. This is done automatically by postfix. If your version is not current, you might want to update it. That will insure that the mailer.conf file is properly updated. Be sure to get a fresh copy of the ports tree before updating. Guessing and putting in the wrong information can get you into trouble. You should also probably reboot after making all of the changes to insure that everything starts correctly and that 'Sendmail' is totally shut down. Ciao! --=20 Gerard We can defeat gravity. The problem is the paperwork involved. --Sig_bjDD_aEX1WBD6/yZkakHbPC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFF+G1SFCqdq4D1ybYRAs/fAJ4q9tILBE8+xxGyoCaGKIsNswLvGACgsOvM d50o4RD971/AC4h/83ivW1M= =4e5u -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_bjDD_aEX1WBD6/yZkakHbPC--
