        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.

                                  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
