Thanks for the -v suggestion. I did a 'sudo port -v selfupdate' which updated to 2.3.2, then updated to XCode 6.1 (for 10.9--haven't updated to 10.10 yet) and downloaded the CLI tools. I did a 'sudo port clean --dist postfix' and then 'sudo port -v install postfix +dovecot_sasl+pcre+tls'. Following <https://trac.macports.org/wiki/MisbehavingServers> I also changed my DNS servers from Google back to Cox DNS but I still get:

Thanks for any pointers.
