The usual arrangement is to turn off sendmail and enable postfix from /et= c/rc.conf by the following: sendmail_enable=3D"NO" sendmail_submit_enable=3D"NO" sendmail_outbound_enable=3D"NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable=3D"NO" postfix_enable=3D"YES" Then you should be able to start postfix by: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix start although you'll have to make sure the instance you started as a pseudo-se= ndmail is killed first.
