        An other question, why after I reboot of my firewall, Postfix is stopped (Statuts –> Services)...

        | Services | Description      | Statut |
        | postfix  | Not available    |Stopped| >

        I clic on ">" for start the services... but he do not start :(

        I remove the package and re install it... and Postfix-Forwarder running.

        What I have forgotten ? A bug ?

        thank you for answers.

          I do not have this issue on my servers.

          Did you enabled postfix service?

              it's embarrasing…

              To following my previous post. I install a new Pfsense (Soekrix box) up to date with Postfix-Forwarder. When I restart the firewall, Postfix-forwarder stop.
              In tab, Services --> Postfix-Forwarder enable is checked
              In tab, Status --> Services Postfix-Forwarder is stopped and I cannot enable it !

              I desintall, reinstall package (System –> Package) and I enable Postfix-Forwader... it running fine !

              How I can fix this, force Postfix-Forwarder be enable after reboot ?

              thank-you.

                What version of pfsense are you running?

                Any log ?

                    that's nanobsd.

                    Nanobsd cleans /var every boot so that's why you can't get it working.

                    I'll include some version and dirs checks to fix it.

                                    The package try to create these folders, can you check if /var/spool and /var/mail exists.

                                        ok.

                                        The mkdir will do it recursive.
