This is what I've got in my /etc/rc.conf:

sendmail_enable="YES"			# We run Postfix
sendmail_pidfile="/var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid"
sendmail_flags="-bd"			# smaller flags
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"	# no such requirement for Postfix
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"		# no such requirement for Postfix
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"	# no such requirement for Postfix

Make sure the appropriate entries are in /etc/mail/mailer.conf.

Cheers.
