Answering yes results in changes /etc/mail/mailer.conf so that calls to
certain email executables will be mapped to postfix rather than
sendmail. I am (fairly) certain that it does _not_ make the necessary
changes to ensure that:
1) sendmail is not started at bootup
2) postfix is started at bootup
3) sendmail is not compiled during the next "make buildworld"
