Description Gian Luca Decurtins 2023-11-17 07:58:41 UTC

Dear all

This port is no longer valid and should be disabled. It depends on postsrsd 1.x, which used TCP sockets. In the meantime, postsrsd underwent a redesign and now uses UNIX sockets. Thus, the related postforward port no longer works and would need a refactor from the maintainer as well.

I suggest disabling/deleting this port.

Regards
Gian Luca

    mail/postforward: Deprecate and set expiration date to 2023-12-31

    Obsolete as postsrsd 2.x now uses unix sockets instead of tcp which
    the deprecated 1.x series utilizes.
