Hi Hans!
At the beginning I would like to apologize for my English.

For example:

# svcs -a |grep -E 'postfix|sendmail'
disabled       lip_14   svc:/network/smtp:sendmail
disabled       lip_14   svc:/network/sendmail-client:default
online         lip_14   svc:/network/smtp:postfix

so you can:

# svcadm disable svc:/network/smtp:sendmail
and
# svcadm enable svc:/network/smtp:postfix

short form "sendmail" and "postfix" would work too if not be ambiguous.

yes, but You should check state (svcs postfix) after.
"maintenance" means a problem with the configuration.

FAQ's and HowTo's, excellent docs:
http://www.postfix.org/docs.html

In my configuration:

postfix from pkgsrc with dovecot:
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
virtual domain|maildir|alias = postgres
greylisting and spf
dspam (with dovecot - spam tagging per user)

and roundcube as webmail.
I don't use spamassassin anymore. Too complicated in maintenance.

Good luck!
