If all of that is in /usr/local/etc/mail/mailer.conf then that's the
wrong location for those later lines.  The first four are okay.

    sendmail    /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
    send-mail   /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
    mailq       /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
    newaliases  /usr/local/sbin/sendmail

Those lines don't belong in the mailer.conf file.  Those are postfix
configuration and belong in the postfix main.cf configuration file.
