Re-install Postfix ?

PaperCuts · 06-29-2009, 12:29 PM

I have postfix installed with procmail, squirrelmail etc. Since I was having problem authenticating clients (they simply couldn't send emails), I think I might have compiled postfix without AUTH support (Cyrus-SASL).

Question: What is the proper way of re-compiling postfix (this time with cyrus-sasl)? Do I have to remove procmail, squirrelmail and other services, requiring and installed after postfix? Or do I just pkg_delete and then install postfix?

Thank you

Right, this is Linux networking but I'll try to answer your question.
Go to the right directory for postfix in the ports structure and make rmconfig && make config, select the options you want and then make install clean.
man ports has all the info you want.
