Hello,


Yes, after rebuilding Postfix with the correct options,
it needs to be deinstalled and reinstalled. This will
not touch your configs etc. so it should be a safe operation.

Without Portmaster:
# cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix
# make config
(change options to dovecot2)
# make deinstall
# make install clean

With portmaster:
# portmaster --force-config mail/postfix


Remember to cc the ports@ list so other people can benefit :)
