The recently imposed "must be logged in" restriction is a response to increased bot traffic on the site. This affects search, commits, and vuxml pages.
Search engines are not blocked. Try using "site:www.freshports.org" and your search terms.
After the ports freeze to fix some stuff, the freeze is over. I have some work to do before FreshPorts can start processing commits again before it can start processing again. I've created an issue for that.

Description:
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 features: 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.
