      The author of this package said, maybe it will fixed in pfSense version 2.3 with pkgng.

      https://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/roadmap#2.3

      So don't hold you breath, it can take some time…

        it's pretty easy to get it running with the current version without the sqlite/db thing… just search through the forum.

          Uhhh, if this package is broken, why is it still listed in pfSense 2.2?

          My pfSense shows this:
          Postfix Forwarder Release 2.4.2
          platform: 2.2    2.2.999

          Or is this some automatic thing, with the 2.2.999 meaning it has not been officially tested?

          Hi, I'm Lance Boyle, and people often wonder if I'm real.

            The only workaround I found for this is

            • install package from pfsense gui

            • go to console, remove pbi packages(not the gui)

            • Install postfix package via pkg ng

            The main postfix binary works fine but all other sub process it starts die with missing libs.

            I don't know if writing a guide to use pkg ng will help or add a lot of extra problems.

            The main problem with this(and many others) package is that pbi messes up bin and lib location. I have the gui fixed for sqlite2 /sqlite3 but for now, just removing pbi and installing postfix pkg will keep postfix working on 2.2
            If I push the gui fix for 2.2 on github, it will broke package gui on 2.1

                        first of all, great work =)

                        so… 2.1 is old/out of production already, right?

                          pfsense 2.1, yes but the package is working on both(2.1 normal install and on 2.2 with the fix above).

                            Marcelloc, why not to make on the contrary - on pfsense 2.2  normal install, and on pfsense 2.1 with the fix?
                            It will move more people to update to version 2.2

                                I tried the above in 2.2.4 but I had no luck. Can anybody confirm this is working in the latest version of pfSense?

                                  Yes, it's working for sure.

                                  Do not forget to install the package via gui before the steps above…

                                    pkg install postfix

                                    And reinstall postfix and postfix forwarder.
                                    The same settings but it's will show relay access denied when mail incoming.
                                    How to fix it?

                                        Tried the steps.

                                        installed package by gui.
                                        removed folders and pbi as posted by marcelloc.
                                        installed package from console pkg.

                                        Saved every config page to avoid errors.
                                        starting service fails :

                                        Aug 19 11:10:35 php-fpm[24346]: /pkg_edit.php: The command '/usr/pbi/postfix-amd64/sbin/postmap /usr/pbi/postfix-amd64/etc/postfix/sender_access' returned exit code '127', the output was '/usr/pbi/postfix-amd64/sbin/postmap: not found'

                                        What am I missing? Tried this on 2 systems, it looks like I really am missing a step here.

                                            Since the changes required to be compatible with 2.2 for non-trivial packages break compatibility with previous releases, kindly consider creating a new entry in the list of available packages for the postifx 2.2 + versions, then add a note to the 2.1- package to switch to the new one when upgrading.

                                            Of course, as always, easier to ask than to do.  Thanks for your efforts!
