Yes, my mailer.conf file looks like:

# $FreeBSD: src/etc/mail/mailer.conf,v 1.3 2002/04/05 04:25:12 gshapiro Exp $
#
# Execute the Postfix sendmail program, named /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
#
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

It's definitely something like an admin thing as you described.  I get it
at right around 3am every day.  I do have two cron jobs running that cvsups
ports and releases at 2 and 2:30am but I'm getting normal output from those
jobs submissions as it is.
