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.
===> The following configuration options are available for postfix-3.11.7_4,1:
BDB=off: Berkeley DB support
BLOCKLISTD=on: Enable blocklistd support
CDB=on: CDB maps lookups
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
EAI=on: Email Address Internationalization (SMTPUTF8) support
INST_BASE=off: Install into /usr and /etc/postfix
LDAP=off: LDAP maps (uses WITH_OPENLDAP_VER)
LMDB=on: LMDB maps
MONGO=off: MongoDB support
MYSQL=off: MySQL database support
NIS=off: Network Information Services/YP support
PCRE2=on: Use Perl Compatible Regular Expressions, version 2
PGSQL=off: PostgreSQL database support
SASL=off: Cyrus SASL support (Dovecot SASL is always built in)
SQLITE=off: SQLite database support
TEST=off: SMTP/LMTP test server and generator
TLS=on: Secure network connection support via TLS
TLSRPT=on: Enable sending RFC 8460 TLS reports
====> LMDB version to use: you can only select none or one of them
LMDB0=on: Use LMDB 0.9 library
LMDB1=off: Use LMDB 1.0 library
====> Kerberos network authentication protocol type: you can only select none or one of them
SASLKMIT=off: If your SASL req. MIT Kerberos5, select this
SASLKRB5=off: If your SASL req. Kerberos5, select this
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Reason:
mail/postfix now can depend on either databases/lmdb0 or databases/lmdb.
The default is lmdb0 for now.
If you want/need to use lmdb1, you will need to build the package
with apropriate lmdb version selected.
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 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)

Update to postfix 19991231-pl10. Install LDAP_README and MYSQL_README along
with documentation. Fix manpage generation. Consistently use INSTALL_*
macros (from postfix-current). Modify packaging list using WITH_PCRE and
WITH_LDAP PLIST_SUBs (as per postfix-current). Add knob to enable PCRE (again
from postfix-current). Use better package description (postfix-current). Fix
PLIST. Conditionally remove main.cf and master.cf when they are unmodified
from default (postfix-current). Fully institute new maintainer as a real one.
:-)
Remove Torsten Blum by due effect of not being a maintainer - many reports of
patches being ignored and lack of interest being shown towards this port have
brought this about. Who wants to revive this port?
Change PKGDIR from pkg/ to . Also fix places where ${PKGDIR} is spelled out
(many of which are ${PKGDIR}/MESSAGE -> ${PKGMESSAGE} type fixes that
shouldn't have been necessary) and the string "/pkg/" appear.
