The postfix port's ui_msg's say ".... you may also want to turn off your system's MTA". At first I thought I didn't have to do anything because it worked immediately, but then I discoverd that when sending mail with the 'mail' command locally it was blind to the local aliases. Here is what I did to fix that:
sudo mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.old sudo ln -s /opt/local/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
this can be accomplished various ways. I use my $PATH personally.
Is that disabling the local MTA in its entirety? Or just a part of it?
Apple have an extra tool that starts postfix "when needed" http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.7.x86/postfix-147/watchpos... either recompile that, or chmod -x it.
Because I want to change the ui_msg's to be more accurate so people will know and not spend the time I did figuring out how to make it all work and I'm not sure if I've done all that should be done.
