Re: Replacing Postfix

[IT geek 31 <itgeek31%googlemail.com@localhost>]

Here is what I have done:

1. Added pkg postfix-2.7.20091209.tgz
2. Created /etc/rc.conf.d/postfix and added the following:

      postfix_command='/usr/pkg/sbin/postfix'
      required_files='/usr/pkg/etc/postfix/main.cf'
      start_cmd='/usr/pkg/sbin/postfix start'
      stop_cmd='/usr/pkg/sbin/postfix stop'
      reload_cmd='/usr/pkg/sbin/postfix reload'
      postconf='/usr/pkg/sbin/postconf'

3. Amended main.conf so that
4. Copied all my settings (main.conf, body_checks, header_checks etc)
to /usr/pkg/etc/postfix
5. Symlinked /etc/rc.d/postfix to /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/postfix
6. Rebooted

The server starts fine, and the log shows the following line (meaning
the right version starts):

      Dec 24 16:10:24 mail postfix/master[12111]: daemon started --
version 2.7-20091209, configuration /usr/pkg/etc/postfix

However, if I run "postfix -n" it says my config_directory is
/etc/postfix and all my files are being read from /etc/postfix.

Am I missing something in /etc/rc.conf?
