Hi Jos,

You can check /var/db/ports/postfix/options to see what options you have 
for postfix. I think it's easier if you can tell us the output of "uname 
-a" plus the exact command you try when you get this error. I'm not sure 
what you want to achieve, I only see that something wants to pull 
dovecot2 while you have dovecot-1 installed.

Regards,
Andrei
