Regex and pcre not supported by default
Hi there,
I installed Postfix on Openbsd 4.0 with the default package.
But when using body and header checks I get the message that regex and pcre
is not supported.
What format should I use for OpenBSD?
Or do I have to recompile Postfix myself?
Thank you for your answer.

Yep, or atleast use the wrapper from ports.
Don't forget to set the right flavor to obtain PCRE.

Maybe this has changed since 4.0, but on my -current system, pkg/DESCR
says that PCRE is always included, for both the snapshot and stable. And
I do seem to recall that compiling regexp tables out of Postfix is not
that easy.
Are you certain that the tables themselves are not supported? Postconf
-m appears to return the information. A more exact description of the
problem might be good if you want us to help some more.

I concur. I use body and header checks in Postfix with the stock
package install, and have for some time. I don't recall needing
anything else, though I do have pcre-6-4p1 package install, as well.
