Well, Sendmail is the default MTA on all BSD's AFAIK, and being a
part of the base system it's in /usr. But it's not Sendmail that's
in /usr/sbin/sendmail, it's a symlink to /usr/sbin/mailwrapper which
just invokes another program based on argv[0] and
/etc/mail/mailer.conf. What strikes me is the fact
that you invoked postfix with the path /usr/local.
roman@roman ~ > ls -laF /usr/sbin/sendmail
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 Oct 9 16:08 /usr/sbin/sendmail@ ->
/usr/sbin/mailwrapper
BTW, how did you install postfix on the old machine? Didn't you use
the port? I don't know the OpenBSD ports system details (a quick
glance at the cvsweb interface suggests the similarity ends with the
/usr/ports path), but "the other" MTAs' port makefiles generally
have a "replace" target that takes care of all this. On FreeBSD,
that is.
