Hiya,
I'm running 5.2.1-RELEASE-p8, so I'm not sure my comments apply to 4.10.

I only have the above line regarding to sendmail (Though I'm not sure if
it is important or not. I just keep it in there since it's working).
Remember, the sendmail executable is replaced during the postfix
installation. You will NEED sendmail executable to maintain
compatibility with other programs. If you check out the man page of
sendmail, you'll see this:
NAME
sendmail - Postfix to Sendmail compatibility interface

So you might want to consider to remove the above lines.

5.2.1. doesn't have the /etc/periodic.conf file, (at least, I don't have
it, so I assume that it has changed) but you might want to consider to
enable that.
I have no experience with PPP or PPPoE at all, so I'm afraid I can't
help you with that.
I hope this helps you a bit.
