Postfix is the mail transfer agent, or MTA. That means it does the local
delivery. In a sendmail only server you have two instances of sendmail
running one to send the mail, one as the MTA. You need at least one running.

You need to make sure sendmail is starting and running. Check your

Thanks!
In my rc.conf:
sendmail_enable="NO"
However, as I wrote, I was using postfix. I'm not a big guru but I believe
that postfix has its own daemon and it has a sendmail binary that is
compatible with the system default sendmail.
Anyway, your comment helped me a lot! I upgraded to 6.2 some weeks ago and
probably I did not reactivate postfix in /etc/mail/mailer.conf.
Additionally, probably I forgot to merge the old mailer.conf with the new
one. I changed my rc.conf to this:
sendmail_enable="NO"
postfix_enable="YES"
Then I started postfix:
messias# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postfix start
postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system
messias# ps ax | grep postf
68249 ?? Ss 0:00.01 /usr/local/libexec/postfix/master
Yet I still do not get my emails:
messias# mail gandalf
Subject: Test3
