I really don't know how things are working.  

$ grep -E 'sendmail|postfix' /etc/rc.conf
sendmail=NO             sendmail_flags="-bd -q30m"
postfix=NO

$ ps -aucx |grep post
postfix  17206  0.0  0.1   148   400 ??  S    11:04PM   0:00.03 pickup
postfix  28336  0.0  0.1   224   436 ??  S     9Mar03   2:36.69 qmgr

Perhaps I started it manually.
