I installed postfix from ports a few weeks ago, using the default options. I notice there are two locations for main.cf and master.cf:

Code: 
/usr/local/etc/postfix/master.cf
/usr/local/libexec/postfix/master.cf
/usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf
/usr/local/libexec/postfix/main.cf

Code: 
# postconf -d daemon_directory
daemon_directory = /usr/local/libexec/postfix

What is the purpose of /usr/local/etc/postfix/?

And actually, postalias seems to use /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf.

Code: 
# postalias 
postalias: fatal: /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf ... ...
