Matter of fact, you should have just used the ports:
([EMAIL PROTECTED]):(/home/robin)$ cat /usr/ports/mail/qmail/files/mailer.conf.sample
# Configuration for mailwrapper is kept in /etc/mail/mailer.conf.
# Replace that file with this one to enable qmail under a sendmail
# disguise. Very useful.
sendmail /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
send-mail /var/qmail/bin/sendmail
mailq /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qread
newaliases /var/qmail/bin/newaliases

That one line would not be enough.

In the case of $YOUR_OS, it's Theo's fault. Apparently, he believes that
one God of Wrath is enough for his project. He also seems to believe
that this God should be him. That's why people like me have to clean up
their OpenBSDs. Henning Brauer, however, has compiled a stripped down
version of OpenBSD which will make installation easier. Good.

The rest of the thread is *some*where in the directory, but owing to
Outlook Express' and other crapware's braindeadness, it's entirely
unreadable. Great.
