How to replace built-in postfix with DarwinPorts version

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am in need of replacing my built in postfix on OS X Server 10.4 with a newer version to get DSN support. I installed postfix into /opt/ with ports, but I can’t seem to get the new version running. I followed the instructions in the port file:

> sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.postfix.plist
> -Delete or rename /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist
> -Replace the built-in sendmail file with a symlink to MacPorts’ own:
> sudo mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.org
> ln -s /opt/local/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail

then did `sudo /usr/sbin/postfix stop && sudo /opt/local/sbin/postfix start` and it says:

postfix/postfix-script: stopping the Postfix mail system
postfix/postfix-script: fatal: the Postfix mail system is already running

What am I doing wrong or what else do I need to do to get this working?
