cd /usr/ports/postfix/snapshot export FLAVOR=sasl2 make clean make install or (even better) export PKG_PATH=<mirror of your choice> pkg_add postfix-2.7.20091209-sasl2.tgz or, if you want -stable rather than -snapshot pkg_add postfix-2.6.5-sasl2.tgz And follow the Postfix manual/web/whatever. That's what I did. I also bought some Postfix books. Eventually I got it working with TLS. .... Ken
