You need to use the Postfix 'sendmail' version. $ which sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail I have Postfix installed and running. Sorry, I thought that was obvious. Typing: "man sendmail" should show this at the top of the page: "NAME sendmail - Postfix to Sendmail compatibility interface" If not, then something is configured incorrectly. By the way, in order to run Postfix, you have to completely shutdown the base system's 'sendmail' cat /etc/rc.conf # Shutdown sendmail sendmail_enable="NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" #Start Postfix postfix_enable="YES" -- Jerry ✌ FreeBSD.user@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
