I think that both sendmail and postfix should be configured
so that they listen on localhost only (or use the UNIX socket only,
as in postfix case) in the default install.

Then, if the user wants mail delivered, they only add
sendmail=YES or postfix=YES (according to their preference) in their
rc.conf. Everything works, no magic is necessary.

I do not want no sendmail sneaking behind my back and starting
automatically.
