Yes, you are right in common case.
This is reason to my proposition.
_If_ do not want nullmail's mailq/sendmail,
do _not_ edit /etc/mail/mail.conf.
But _if_ do not want any local mail,
_do_ substitute at least sendmail (and send-mail)
in /etc/mail/mail.conf.
In current state choose of native or nullmailer's
sendmail/mailq depends on order of paths in $PATH
instead of sysadmins choose.
nullmailer port is {careful|provident|attentive|anxious|solicitous|
|mindful|thoughtful|heedful|jealous|regardful|tender|advertent|
|overwarm|considerate|forethoughtful|sisterly|attent}
(sorry, I can't choose right word here)
in respect to change system files for/instead of
sysadmin, and I do _NOT_ want include /etc/mail/mail.conf
in that list of files tuned by port.
May be text as:
... if you want substitute system mailq/sendmail
by nullmailer's mailq/sendmail do ...
in pkg-message is better?
My main goal is to move mailq/sendmail from
$PATH, not substitute mailq/sendmail by default.
Sorry, my English is not good for good wording.
