>Description:
I use the postfix mailer instead of sendmail and would like to continue to
use sendmail -bd as the way of starting postfix. That said, /etc/rc and
/etc/defaults/rc.conf need to be updated to include a sendmail_program
variable. /etc/rc also relies on /etc/mail/sendmail.cf to be present for
sendmail to be enabled: this is not true for postfix and has been disabled.
