If I install this via CPAN, postfwd works, but then this breaks portupgrade and portmanager when trying to update perl or keep track of new versions of the bsdpan-* "packages". Is there another way to go about this outside of trying to create my own postfwd and Net::DNS::Async ports? -- Sahil Tandon
