Yes, postfix is in NetBSD base set, and not for lynx.

I'm not using mailman, but for POSTFIX_*, users may edit 
${PREFIX}/lib/mailman/Mailma/mm_cfg.py as
described in share/doc/mailman/mailma-install.*.
Now, not postfix related tools in USE_TOOLS, so we may check paths for suck 
tools in mailman/Makefile
(check builtin or use ${PREFIX}/...) and replace those paths with SUBST.

For HTML_TO_PLAIN_TEXT_COMMAND, DEFAULT_CONVERT_HTML_TO_PLAINTEXT = Yes in 
Defaults.py.in,
so it should be replaced with correct path and depend on lynx, or
should be patched DEFAULT_CONVERT_HTML_TO_PLAINTEXT to No.
