I don't use the methode mentioned in /ports/UPDATING 2006.

I use postfix 2.2.5 which was released in October 2005 and my system  
is a FreeBSD 5.4-Release-pX (security branch). So I guess the new  
startup methode doesn't affect my system because the rcNG script for  
postfix was implemented later..or am I wrong?

I use:
# we have postfix
sendmail_enable="YES"
sendmail_flags="-bd"
sendmail_pidfile="/var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid"
sendmail_procname="/usr/local/libexec/postfix/master"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"
