      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.

                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.

                                            There is a workaround for missing libs.

                                            Fetch files from e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/8/All/ldd to /usr/local/lib
