Ok, here's the first pass... Using the script from the Wiki How-To page...

I previously had MySql/PHP/Apache2/Postscript/Dovecote and I think Fetchmail installed.

I had done a "port selfupdate" last week.

The Mysql5, Postscript and fetchmail installs/updates apparently  went without problem.

It did not find "postfixadmin"

It apparently did not like the fact that I had Dovecote installed.

I'll wait and run it again when you can trackdown postfixadmin.
Deactivating dovecote is easy enough.

The only interesting thing I noticed -- the second request for a password.

I assume that it was simply sudo timing out -- as the mysql5, especially, and postscript
installs  did take a while. I wasn't timing them, so I don't know how long they actually took.




Here's the output.

To get postfix working, you need to edit the configuration
files (/opt/local/etc/postfix/*).  You may also
want to turn off Apple's built-in MTA.  For example:

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist
