I am probably just not understanding this correctly, but why can't you just place the following in the "/etc/make.conf" file: # Postfix .if $(.CURDIR:M*/mail/postfix-current) WITH_BDB_VER=48 .endif I do something similar to that to force it to build with DB5: WITH_BDB_VER=5 Of course, this only works with the "postfix-current" port. To use the latest STABLE version of Postfix in the ports, you would change the "if" line to: ".if $(.CURDIR:M*/mail/postfix)" Of course. this assumes that you are attempting to install Postfix via the ports system. -- Jerry ✌ postfix-u...@seibercom.net _____________________________________________________________________ TO REPORT A PROBLEM see http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail TO (UN)SUBSCRIBE see http://www.postfix.org/lists.html
