mail/postfix - automated install : bypass default mailer message

[Florent Peterschmitt]

Hi,

In pkg-install.in it's said if POSTFIX_DEFAULT_MTA=YES then postfix will
be set as default mailer in /etc/mail/mailer.conf

So, I do export POSTFIX_DEFAULT_MTA=YES but the only thing it does is
setting the default answer to yes.

So is it possible to make the installation fully automated, without any
ask ?

Should we do yes | pkg install postfix ?

I think it should be possible to have a non-interactive installation,
via an environment variable.

This *should* work:
