BTW I had read the section in the FAQ before but didn't realize this applied to my situation. I had not realized I was mixing different releases, since I am using the ports tree for OpenBSD 4.3

Did you reinstall the ports three. No you didn't. You are still using the snapshot of ports three which are made for 4.4 beta and trying to compile
a port on 4.3 release.


There is 4.3 release branch ports three for 4.3 release and there is a snapshot of ports three for 4.4 beta. You are not even supposed to use ports if you do not know what are you doing which you obviously do not.


If you want to install Postfix on 4.3 release

Code:
su
password
export  
# PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.3/packages/i386/
# pkg_add postfix (you might need a different flavor here)

You are not going to get any sympathy from any OpenBSD users for the kind the mistakes you are making.
