https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=409727
The latest update of mail/postfix (from 2.11 to 3.1) breaks existing installations because there are incompatible changes. For example missing VDA support.
This should be noted in /usr/ports/UPDATING as was everytime before.

Comment 2 Olli Hauer freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-03-08 20:45:46 UTC
UPDATING was lost, sorry about that!

I hope the UPDATING text is clear enough for VDA and SPF users.
Comment 3 Miroslav Lachman 2016-03-09 07:49:12 UTC
Just a note. It can be useful for beginners to note the command to stay on the old version:

pkg set -o mail/postfix:mail/postfix211

It is usually included in UPDATING entries for things like Perl, Subversion, Ruby etc. where these changes are common.

Thank you for your work.
