I upgraded my FreeBSD server to v7.0-RELEASE -- everything seems to

postfix/postfix-script: warning: damaged message: corrupt/AE0AB49AF76
postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system
See: # grep AE0AB49AF76 /var/log/maillog
For more information about the history of this message. If your
FreeBSD has installed an OLDER Postfix version than what you were
using before the upgrade, you will have to upgrade to the newer
Postfix.
Ah, the problem appears to be that the upgrade process "helped" me by
installing sendmail. Ack.
Okay, so two questions:
1. How do I fix the "damaged message" problem?
2. What is the proper way to start postfix on bootup instead of
sendmail? I could hack this, but I'd rather do it properly.
See: $ man mailwrapper
Also, see the contents of:
/usr/ports/mail/postfix/pkg-message
It contains details on how to disable sendmail on boot.
