I just checked the upstream and it seems the problem does not exist any more after this commit. https://sourceforge.net/p/mailfilter/code/ci/52e08609da8133e2cc0acd1961ebc1e1537f0c54 Most applications should have similar fixes because all major Linux distros are using Flex 2.6 now. If you are maintaining such applications, you should update the ports, add devel/flex to BUILD_DEPENDS, and set FLEX=${LOCALBASE}/bin/flex for releng/stable branches. In fact, I've waited long enough (3.5 years) to not break existing ports. I thought we should be fine by now but I guess I was wrong. :-( Please let me know if you need any help.
