 Hello bug-followup,
 
  >> Reinstall postfix.
  >> A better solution would be of course to ask the user during installation of the base system or not overwriting newaliases when postfix is installed. Requiring a full path specification of newaliases and putting it in different locations is also a possible solution.

  Nobbut it's /usr/local/sbin/sendmail.
 
  Also users running postfix are supposed to add NO_SENDMAIL=yes to the
  /etc/make.conf file, I would say.
 
  Is there anyone else who think that this PR can be closed, as this
  "bug" is result of user's misconfiguration?
