I also had disabled 'sendmail_msp_queue_enable' in /etc/rc.conf, but after reading pkg-message it seems that I missed some variables, probably because they didn't exist when I first configured my Postfix system. Also, the trend of toggling some /etc/defaults/rc.conf flags and then toggling them back is very sucky (see /usr/src/UPDATING on some recent -STABLE to see what I mean). I'll now complete my setup, thanks for this valuable tip.
