The way that it is suggested to start postfix in the pkg-message (by placing
a link to /usr/local/sbin/postfix in /usr/local/etc/rc.d) is no longer valid 
with the new rc.d code in -stable. I've attached a script that works for me 
to start and stop postfix. Please remove the symlink you have in 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d now, and put this script in its place. Make sure that 
the script is executable (chmod 755 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix.sh), then 
'echo postfix_enable=yes >> /etc/rc.conf.local' and reboot. Then please let 
us know for sure that this worked for you.

If the maintainer would like help including this in the port, I'd be glad to 
do so. If you want to create the update yourself, take a look at 
ports/misc/compat5x to see how to integrate this, or I'd be glad to work on 
it with you.

hth,

Doug
