Porting Postfix 2.4.5

Sun Oct 14 12:07:56 PDT 2007

Greetings.

In my spare time I've been working on getting Postfix 2.4.5 working with
MacPorts, as well as getting TLS and SASL to work correctly (OpenSSL
deps using system libraries instead of the ported version, leading to
0.9.7 vs 0.9.8 mismatch).

The below portfile *works* correctly (with thanks to Mark Duling to
helping me get this far!)-- the issue is that while I'm rather
comfortable with Postifx, I'm quite certain I don't know enough about
the MacPorts system to make it work in the proscribed manner.  For
instance, it isn't set up to use variants and whatnot, but the make
arguments get passed correctly and it uses the proper dependencies.

Can anyone lend a hand towards helping me polish this so that it can be
published?

The issues I see at the moment:

postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system

That's simple enough to fix-- should just be a chown, I figure.

started -- version 2.4.5, configuration /etc/postfix
The fact that it's pulling from /etc/postfix for its configuration is
somewhat more puzzling.

description     Fast and robust mail transfer agent
long_description    Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and \
             secure, while at the same time being \
             sendmail-compatible enough to not upset existing \
             users. It also offers QMQP and VERP support to let \
             Postfix act as delivery daemon for ezmlm-idx.

To get postfix working, you need to copy the sample configuration
files and edit them (${prefix}/etc/postfix/*.sample).  You may also
want to turn off Apple's built-in MTA.  For example, on 10.4:

-Delete or rename /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist
-Replace the built-in sendmail file with a symlink to MacPorts' own:
         sudo mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.org
         ln -s ${prefix}/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail

NOTE: Apple OS updates could upgrade the built-in Postfix and overwrite the
       symlink, so the symlink mught have to be recreated.
