Mail Server done

I'd like to thank everyone here for helping me work through it. =)
I have documented it and posted it up on my blog. It's an effort to give back to the community. Hope it would be useful to everyone who are newbie like me...=)
 
there is error in your blog

Code: 
#portsnap fetch update
#portsnap fetch extract

you only need to use one of them
fetch update if you have run fetch extract in past, and fetch extract if you have run portsnap for the first time

EDIT:

Code: 
#cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui
#make install clean
cvsup (now called csup) is available in base system, you don't need to install this port
just use csup (it's simply cvsup rewritten in c)


EDIT2:
also you don't need to specify full path for apps. It's much easier to specify app name only.


Then
nano is not available in default freebsd install, you can use ee or vi, or you need to install nano (from ports or packages)

EDIT:
I'm not sure you need to run # make initial-config

EDIT:
Code: 
#postfix stop
#postfix start
hmmm shouldn't it be
Code: 
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix stop
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix start
Unfortuantly I can't test this on my PC atm


These are some things I noticed.
P.S.
I'm not pretty familiar with all the mail server configuration, so that's what I skipped, I just looked at general stuff
 
Upgrade relevant ports collections so we dont snafu in between!
Code: 
#mkdir -p /opt/mail
#cd /opt/mail
#fetch http://bsdinn.com/dl/ports.mailserver
#cvsup -g -L 2 ports.mailserver

I don't think you need to do this. [I might be wrong]
