Hello,

You have probably merged the mailer.conf when you have done a new world.
Look at /etc/mail/mailer.conf if its look like the following lines.

#
# Execute the Postfix sendmail program, named /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
#
sendmail        /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
send-mail       /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
mailq   /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
newaliases      /usr/local/sbin/sendmail


By the way, my postfix is started at boot in using rc.conf

This starts sendmail with the -bd flag who launch postfix
sendmail_enable="YES"
sendmail_flags="-bd"

These lines disables others sendmail daemons
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"

If you want to start postfix after to be log in, just use "postfix start"

I hope that help you.

Sincerely yours,

Ulrich Blondel
