>Description:

Chapter 18 of the Handbook only covers sendmail.  Changes were
recently made to rc.conf to make it easier to install and use
alternative MTAs.  We should document this configuration setting, and
describe the process of setting up Postfix and qmail to be the default
system MTA.

>How-To-Repeat:

Point a novice sysadmin at a FreeBSD Box and the Handbook, and ask him
to install Postfix.
