Besides this, nullmailer is mentioned many times in mutt user mailing
list. If there's anyone who ever take a look in my mail header, he/she
would find such a header:
Received: from cartier.cirx.org (nullmail@localhost [127.0.0.1])
        by cartier.cirx.org (8.11.2/8.11.2) with SMTP id f1I0ne601279;
        Sun, 18 Feb 2001 08:49:40 +0800 (CST)
        (envelope-from clive@CirX.ORG)
Received: (nullmailer pid 1275 invoked by uid 1000);
        Sun, 18 Feb 2001 00:49:39 -0000

Well, I did this port because I want this mutt config variable,
envelope_from=yes, to take place, but don't want the
"X-Authenblahblah" mail header appear. Also, the mutt config variable,
set sendmail="/usr/local/sbin/sendmail -oi -oem" must be set.

If you like, you could as well edit your /etc/mail/mailer.conf and
point them to 
sendmail       /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
send-mail      /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
mailq          /usr/local/bin/mailq

But, remember, if you change mailer.conf like that, DON'T set
sendmail_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf !

After I catch up all rescent changes in -CURRENT, I'll do my best to
make this port completely "dumb-safe." The uptime of my box is 20
days, this means I've missed many things...
