I am upgrading from postfix-2.8.7,1 and cyrus-imapd-2.3.18 to

authentication, the new one MySQL. This is on FreeBSD.
I have compared the conf files on two addition postfix systems and
can see no differences of consequence. I am not sure which files or
parts thereof to show. I am kind of surprised postfix can be
encouraged not to listen on these ports. I am quite lost and can
supply whatever information that will help anyone with a idea on how
I messed this up.
Likely is postfix is failing to start, with clues in the logfile.

Thank you for your thought, but not exactly. Postfix sort starts,
cyrus is all there:
working system:
lighthouse:~> sockstat | egrep "postfix|master" | egrep ":[2\5]+"
postfix smtpd 98709 6 tcp4 *:25 *:*
postfix smtpd 98656 6 tcp4 *:25 *:*
postfix smtpd 98656 19 tcp4 127.0.0.1:53654
127.0.0.1:10023
postfix smtpd 98612 6 tcp4 *:25 *:*
root master 52014 12 tcp4 *:25 *:*
root master 52014 16 tcp4 *:587 *:*
The one in question
freeport:~> sockstat | egrep "postfix|master" | egrep ":[2\5]+"
root master 3938 13 tcp4 *:25 *:*
root master 3938 17 tcp4 *:587 *:*
That's absolutely normal. Postfix's 'master' process only spawns smtpd
processes as needed to handle SMTP sessions. As shown, it listens on any
ports that need persistent listeners, and hands off connections to child
processes.
Any thought much appreciated. The only difference between two of the
other postfix/cyrus systems: one use sasldb, the other kerberos. The
Not working one uses mysql. There are some cyrus gliches not relevant
to this list. On the post fix front, the system can receive email,
that's what master does, it can not send email. Apparently what
postfix does.
So, your chosen subject makes no sense. The master process is part of
Postfix, and it is what listens on ports 25 and 587.
Honestly as for RTFM, been there, done that.
The bit of the documentation that you seem to have ignored is what Noel
mentioned: http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail
Actual log entries and actual configuration are essential information.
