I don't know why I said I had WITH_SENDMAIL=no, because I actually have
WITHOUT_SENDMAIL=yes in /etc/src.conf!

I think the problem occurs because in the OPTIONS menu I told it to
install to /usr:

INST_BASE "Install into /usr and /etc/postfix"

I guess I need to remove /usr/sbin/sendmail and reinstall postfix.
