Problem is this is for an "active" replacement - one where sendmail is
already in place.  I did an installation replacement, where postfix
was specified as the primary MTA during system install.

And it just occurred to me that the install replacement might not
disable building sendmail and installing it during a buildworld /
installworld.

I'll follow the directions there.

Thanks
