@Bill Cole I’m pretty sure I have postscreen and postfix working right now… not too sure if i’ts blocking what I wanted blocked - or if they just went away. However, there are others - endlessly - trying. So something to do in my spare time?
Also, I can see that pfctl -e turns it on - enables it, but I can’t see how that is put in place automatically. On re boot, it’s once again disabled, and pf is not working. Even though the plist is loading. reboot sudo pfctl -s info No ALTQ support in kernel ALTQ related functions disabled Status: Disabled Debug: Urgent sudo pfctl -e sudo pfctl -s info No ALTQ support in kernel ALTQ related functions disabled Status: Enabled for 0 days 00:00:12 Debug: Urgent any ideas?
