That's ok : the 'make replace' of the postfix port replace
/usr/sbin/sendmail (see the /usr/port/mail/postfix/Makefile) but, now in
CURRENT, /usr/sbin/sendmail is a symlink to /usr/sbin/mailwrapper (see
man mailwrapper).

In CURRENT, the command 'sendmail' runs the mailwrapper program which,
in turn, runs the correct ones according to /etc/mail/mailer.conf (there's
an exemple in 'man mailer.conf').

So, to take advantage of MTA wrapping, don't do a 'make replace' when
installing Postfix but rather edit /etc/mail/mailer.conf.

	Hope this helps,
