There have been many requests to let us choose our favorite MTA for
the base system. It seems things are moving in that direction since
you will notice an option in the make config of the newer postfix
versions it says to install postfix in the base. Right now I would
avoid this, (other maybe other can comment more on this option) but
hopefully in the future those of use that don't like sendmail can
avoid it's use.
--As for the rest, it is mine.
I picked the option to install postfix in the base. It works the same as
postfix out of the base. Only one real difference that I've noted: Instead
of being in '/usr/local/sbin/' it's in '/usr/sbin/'. There are quite a few
other ports I've noticed that see postfix and assume it's in /usr/local/*,
so this can be annoying as you are installing other things. On the other
hand, every time I've run into it, it's just been a config option or so
that needed changing. You just have to be on the lookout for it: lots of
things send the occasional email, or can.
