Was all set up for you

Just after hitting YES above you shuld have seen the following:

If you have postfix configured in your /etc/mail/mailer.conf (answered 
yes to the previous question) and would like to enable postfix to start at 
boot time, please set these variables in your /etc/rc.conf file:

sendmail_enable="YES"
sendmail_flags="-bd"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"

This will disable Sendmail completely.

If you want to do something different from standard setup, you may want 
to edit some of the files in /etc/mail after studying the documentation.
