Description itwrx 2025-01-27 10:02:07 UTC 
Hello,

I am not sure if everybody knows this and not really a bug.

According to this OpenSMTPD 7.6 breaks with the old smtp table protocols: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade76.html#ConfigChanges
so all the port&packages with opensmtpd-extra-table-* packages are not supposed to work with this version (at least the -passwd does it not from my experience). someone needs to create the ports/packages opensmtpd-table-* from the openbsd ports to make it work again. At least one is already available: opensmtpd-table-sqlite

FYI the fix outlined in this FreeBSD Forums post seems to work just fine:

Comment 4 Pietro Cerutti freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2026-01-07 13:22:09 UTC 
btw, I added the port mail/opensmtpd-table-sqlite, based on the new repo which was updated to reflect the protocol changes.

I'm closing this as the compatibility issue has been addressed. gahr added the new mail/opensmtpd-table-sqlite port based on the updated upstream repository for OpenSMTPD 7.6's new table protocol. A forum workaround is also available for other table types.
