I have recently done a system update to address some security issues and

the mailq, sendmail, and newaliases soft links back to what they should be,
but is there a way to verify the postfix installation? Is there a way to
keep FreeBSD from doing this during a build world?
What you are trying to accomplish with those soft links can be done in a
very
easier manner if you use mailer.conf(5). 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 :-)
I edited the /etc/mail/mailer.conf before I did the last update and it
did not seem to work. I think that I will try the NO_SENDMAIL option in
the make.conf file and see what happens. One question though, the
NO_MAILWRAPPER option will keep the system from building the mail
wrapping application but do I need to worry about that since I am using
the NO_SENDMAIL option? Will it still try to make softlinks?
