Hello!

The new Sendmail startup mechanism on 4.6 requires that people using 
MTAs other than Sendmail specify the startup script with 
mta_start_script variable in rc.conf. I'm using an old(ish) version 
of Postfix, installed from ports in July 2001 and I can't figure out 
what the value of mta_start_script should be. As a wild guess, I 
tried "/usr/local/sbin/postfix" and "/usr/local/sbin/postfix start", 
but it didn't work (error messages on bootup scroll off the screen so 
fast I can't read them and they don't seem to get logged anywhere).

As a workaround, I created an /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix.sh script 
which works OK, but it seems kind of inelegant.
