mailer.conf is usually modified my the Postfix port and I am not sure
but I think the option is checked by default.

The lines to add to rc.conf to de-activate Sendmail and usu Postfix on
the base system are:

sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"
postfix_enable="YES"
