I have seen several installations of Postfix go catatonic due to spam
overload, large messages, mailing list expansions, and other undiagnosed
problems. These were run by Postfix lovers, so I have always assumed

No, in 4.2 it still needs us to not forget this. Not a big deal overall,

Hi Antti,
Except that when doing package upgrade with pkg_add the sendmail
configuration (in mailer.conf) will be restored and it won't be
re-enabled until manually doing postfix-enable.
You have a point there. To me, however, this falls under the 'no magic'
clause. I try to use as many

Not to me. But it depends on your situation.
