      Bismarck, you are my hero! And Marcello of course.
      The installation is easy (for those knowing the howto) and everything seems to work like a charm.
      I don't see any logs, though. Shouldn't there be a mail log in var/log ?

        Did you enabled it in the Postfix General Settings > Logging > Destination > /var/log/maillog ?

        And check /etc/syslog.conf there should be a line for it:

        …
        local7.* %/var/log/dhcpd.log
        mail. /var/log/maillog*
        .notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;daemon.none;news.err;local0.none;local3.none;local4.none;local7.none;security.;auth.info;authpriv.info;daemon.info %/var/log/system.log
        auth.info;authpriv.info |exec /usr/local/sbin/sshlockout_pf 15
        *.emerg *
        …

        Otherwise, everything will be logged in the system.log facility, which can be very noisy. :P

          Should it not be "%/var/log/maillog"?

            My syslog.conf:

            root@pfsense:/root# cat /etc/syslog.conf

            -cut-
            local4.*                                                        %/var/log/portalauth.log
            local7.*                                                        %/var/log/dhcpd.log
            mail.*                                                          /var/log/maillog
            -cut-

            It's without "%"

              The following message comes repeatedly from the pfSense Crash Reporter:

              [20-Oct-2016 14:30:00 Europe/Berlin] PHP Stack trace:

              Is that something to be repaired or can I ignore this Messages?

                Little Update…

                postfix_about.php and postfix_view_config.php is working again.

                But postfix_search.php and postfix_queue.php is still broken.

                If someone have the skills to fix the javascript code, you are more then welcome!  :P

                  Hi Bismarck,

                  I followed your guidance from #709 on the latest version of pfsense.

                  I wonder if the order of

                  <menu>and <service>in the config.xml does matter, because after the reboot I don't see the postfix-forwarder item in the menu.

                  You write to install postfix… but do we also need to install mailscanner?

                  Pls advice on how to get postfix forwarder working.

                  Kind regards,

                  Bob</service> </menu>

                    <menu>and <service>needs to be, where

                    <menu>and <service>items are  in the config.xml, no special order just right section.

                    If you need MailScanner, you can install it but its not required to run Postfix, its just another layer for email security.</service> </menu></service> </menu>

                              Sorry ReisBey, sadly there is no easy way to run Postfix on pfSense anymore.  :'(

                                Hi! I don't see any logs too.

                                "Postfix General Settings > Logging > Destination > /var/log/maillog " enabled.

                                I create maillog file in Command Prompt (touch /var/log/maillog), and insert  " mail.*      /var/log/maillog " in syslog file and restart postfix.
                                But it did not solve my problem

                                Any ideas?

                                  Sorry my fault, move system.inc from /etc/system.inc to /etc/inc/system.inc and reboot.

                                    mail. /var/log/maillog*
                                    .notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;daemon.none;news.err;local0.none;local3.none;local4.none;local7.none;security.;auth.info;authpriv.info;daemon.info %/var/log/system.log
                                    auth.info;authpriv.info |exec /usr/local/sbin/sshlockout_pf 15
                                    *.emerg *
                                    …

                                    Otherwise, everything will be logged in the system.log facility, which can be very noisy. :P

                                    I've tried to play with /etc/syslog.conf to make the mail log working again, but it's seem to be a bad idea.
                                    This file is recreated after reboot and the previously added line disappear.

                                    So I added the line mail. /var/log/maillog* into the /etc/inc/system.inc instead.
                                    I add it after the line local7.* %/var/log/dhcpd.log
                                    then reboot.

                                    Now the file /etc/syslog.conf have the correct line for logging and postfix is logging correctly to the maillog.

                                    Thanks !

                                      Hi everyone!
                                      A special thanks to marcelloc for the work he done. it's awesome.
                                      I try to configure postfix at pfsense 2.3.2 and can't solve the problem with recipients from AD. Filled all the fields at the gui, but nothing done. I try to receive recepients in SSH with the command```
                                      /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/www/postfix_recipients.php

                                      extracting from 10.168.1.1...error while binding:The wrong password was supplied or the SASL credentials could not be processed
                                      There is no backup file for 10.168.1.1...(0)

                                      But I'm sure I wrote the password correctly. Can anybody help me with this problem?

                                        In Domain try: dc=testdoamin,dc=ru this is how its working in my setup.

                                        And you could check AD login via Diagnostics > Authentication but you need setup a DC in System > User Manager >  Authentication Servers first.

                                        Good luck.

                                          Try your advice - the same result. Also try pfsense@testdomain.ru as Username - the same. But if I type CN=pfsense;DC=TESTDOMAIN,DC=RU in Username filed then I got an error:

                                          But I'm not sure that ; is right here.
                                          Used Diagnostics > Authentication- everything allright. Moreover, I use AD authentication to the gui.
