Add to /etc/rc.conf

## Disable SENDMAIL
sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"

## Start POSTFIX
postfix_enable="YES"

Now, either manually shut down SendMail or reboot. If you don't reboot, you
will have to manually start Posfix. Personally, I would recommend that you
reboot. I will leave learning how to configure Postfix as an exercise for the
poster. Joining the Postfix Forum would probably be a wise move.
