mail/ssmtp: mailer.conf instruction in handbook differs from pkg-message

[Grzegorz Junka]

/usr/libexec is for the sendmail that is in the base. If you installed 
from ports then this is what works for me:

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