Let those soft links be as they should *really* be (the way installworld sets them up), and edit your /etc/mail/mailer.conf file to invoke Postfix. Alternatively, if you are truly convinced that mailer.conf(5) is not good for you, you may find a look at the description of NO_SENDMAIL and NO_MAILWRAPPER in make.conf(5) very interesting :-)
