>Description:

The pkg-message for mail/postfix port is missing the pid-file specification
for the rc.conf setup. Without this, we can't use:

    # sh /etc/rc.sendmail stop

>How-To-Repeat:

With the recommended lines from pkg-message in /etc/rc.conf:

    sendmail_enable="YES"
    sendmail_flags="-bd"
    sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
    sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
    sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"

As root:

    # sh /etc/rc.sendmail start
    # sh /etc/rc.sendmail stop

A "ps ax" will reveal that the postfix procecess are still running.

>Fix:

Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf:

    sendmail_pidfile="/var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid"

This needs to be added to the pkg-message file.
