Thank you much for all the replies. If you are talking about this
message below as far as doing this after install sure I did :). New to
postfix but not BSD.

Thank you for your help I will give this a try.

===> Generating temporary packing list
Would you like to activate Postfix in /etc/mail/mailer.conf [n]? y
If you have postfix configured in your /etc/mail/mailer.conf (answered
yes to
the previous question) and would like to enable postfix to start at boot
time,
please set these variables in your /etc/rc.conf file:

sendmail_enable="YES"
sendmail_flags="-bd"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"

This will disable Sendmail completely.

Also, you may wish to disable some Sendmail-specific daily maintenance
routines in your /etc/periodic.conf file:

daily_status_mail_rejects_enable="NO"

daily_status_include_submit_mailq="NO"
daily_submit_queuerun="NO"

If you are using SASL, you need to make sure that postfix has access to
read
the sasldb file. This is accomplished by adding postfix to group mail
and
making the /usr/local/etc/sasldb* file(s) readable by group mail (this
should
be the default for new installs).

I hope you installed via the port. It tells you what changes to make to
your freebsd configs to make integration seamless.

As for finding rejects and such, the following is what I use in my
/etc/daily.local script. I get boatloads of rejections for relay
attempts, RBL blocks, etc, daily.

--cut here--
echo ""; echo "Scanning maillog for rejections:"
zgrep ': reject:' /var/log/maillog.0.gz | cut -d : -f 5- | sort | uniq
-c

echo ""
