I've been trying to find some documentation on setting up Postfix to use PostgreSQL on FreeBSD. There seems to be a lot of documentation on doing it with mySQL, but I can't seem to find anything using PostgreSQL. Does anyone here have any documentation, suggestions, or pointers to web sites? I'm working with FBSD 4.9, PostgreSQL 7.2, and Postfix 2.15.
TIA,
Bill

Thanks for responding, Ryan, but I'm confused. I have managed to start postgres with a user I called pgsql. The install appears to do that with a user called postgres but doesn't reference postfix. How do I tell postfix that I want to use postgres?
Thanks Bill
