A secure alternative to widely-used Sendmail Maintained by:sahil@FreeBSD.org Port Added: 07 Feb 2012 01:42:12 Also Listed In:ipv6 License: not specified in port
Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and secure, while at the same
time being sendmail compatible enough to not upset existing users. Thus, the
outside has a sendmail-ish flavor, but the inside is completely different.
Some feautures:
Connection cache for SMTP, DSN status notifications, IP version 6, Plug-in
support for multiple SASL implementations (Cyrus, Dovecot), TLS encryption and
authentication, Configurable status notification message text, Access control
per client/sender/recipient/etc, Content filter (built-in, external before
queue, external after queue), Berkeley DB database, LDAP database, MySQL
database, PostgreSQL database, Maildir and mailbox format, Virtual domains,
VERP envelope return addresses and others.

Affects: users of mail/postfix, mail/postfix2[6-8]
Author: sahil@FreeBSD.org
Reason:
The latest update to these ports adds support to turn off
the TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 protocols introduced in OpenSSL 1.0.1.
These protocols are known to cause inter-operability issues
with certain services, e.g. hotmail. If using TLS with Postfix,
please consult the RELEASE_NOTES for information about possible
workarounds.

Commit History - (may be incomplete: see CVSWeb link above for full details)
Modify pkg-install to handle situations in which
/etc/mail/mailer.conf does not exist, e.g. when
FreeBSD is built WITHOUT_MAILWRAPPER.
This commit only affects legacy Postfix releases,
as the latest stable and development ports already
perform this check.
