Since the program postfix is not a shell script the recommendation is
to create a rcNG shell script to start and stop postfix, instead of
creating a link to the executeable.  This way you could pass flags to
postfix by defining postfix_flags in /etc/rc.conf, /etc/rc.conf.local,
or /etc/rc.conf.d/postfix.
