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.

Notes from UPDATING
These upgrade notes are taken from /usr/ports/UPDATING
  • 2021-05-06
    Affects: users of mail/postfix
    Author: ohauer@FreeBSD.org
    Reason: 
  Postfix 3.6 and higher requires minimum OpenSSL 1.1.1
  FreeBSD 11 users using base OpenSSL can switch to
  mail/postfix35

  If you wish to use postfix35 until FreeBSD 11 EoL you might run the
  following command:

  # pkg set -o mail/postfix:mail/postfix35
  # pkg upgrade
Port Moves
  • port moved here from mail/postfix35 on 2021-09-30
    REASON: Has expired: It is only here until FreeBSD 11 is EoL (Postfix >= 3.6 requires OpenSSL >= 1.1.x)
