mail/postfix,
Postfix SMTP server and tools
Branch: pkgsrc-2008Q4,
Version: 2.5.6,
Package name: postfix-2.5.6,
Maintainer: marttiPostfix aims to be an alternative to the widely-used sendmail
program. Sendmail is responsible for 70% of all e-mail delivered
on the Internet. With an estimated 100 million users, that's an
estimated 10 billion (10^10) messages daily. A stunning number.
Although IBM supported the Postfix development, it abstains from
control over its evolution. The goal is to have Postfix installed
on as many systems as possible. To this end, the software is given
away with no strings attached to it, so that it can evolve with
input from and under control by its users.
In other words, IBM releases Postfix only once. I will be around
to guide its development for a limited time.

If you are running NetBSD 1.5 (or newer), the existing /etc/rc.d/postfix
can be forced to start ${PREFIX}/sbin/postfix instead of /usr/sbin/postfix,
by adding the following lines to /etc/rc.conf.d/postfix:
postfix_command='${PREFIX}/sbin/postfix'
required_files='${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/main.cf'
start_cmd='${PREFIX}/sbin/postfix start'
stop_cmd='${PREFIX}/sbin/postfix stop'
reload_cmd='${PREFIX}/sbin/postfix reload'
Please note that /etc/rc.conf.d/postfix does not exist by default so
you need to create that file if you need to override the default settings.

To enable SASL authentication in the SMTP server, you may want to edit
${SASLLIBDIR}/smtpd.conf
and change the method used to check plaintext passwords. To use
security/cyrus-saslauthd, you should change the contents of smtpd.conf
to:
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
You may also want to edit
${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/main.cf
and set the smtpd_sasl_* variables to appropriate values.
To enable SASL authentication in the SMTP client, you may want to edit
${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/main.cf
and set the smtp_sasl_* variables to appropriate values.
The corresponding SASL authentication plugins will also need to be
installed. Please consult:
${DOCDIR}/SASL_README
and the SASL documentation for more information on setting up SASL
authentication.

Log message:
Updated mail/postfix to 2.5.6
- Postfix 2.5: the SMTP server did not ask for a client certificate
with "smtpd_tls_req_ccert = yes". Reported by Rob Foehl.
- Postfix 2.5, 2.4 and 2.3: avoid reduced TCP performance when
reusing an SMTP connection with a larger than 4096-byte TCP MSS
value. In practice, this could happen only with loopback (localhost)
connections.
