If you don't want your ~/.mailrc file to be read by Emacs, set mail-aliases to nil in your ~/.emacs file.
But you should find out why gnus is invoking mh/post instead of sendmail, and fix that.
And you might want to examine your ~/.mailrc file -- if mh/post is choking on it, there might be actually be an error in it.
