I recently installed Postfix on OpenBSD 4.3 and IIRC /etc/postfix was created

when I installed Postfix.  I installed the package, not from ports.  I

removed sendmail after I installed Postfix, using the pkg_delete command.

As root, do "crontab -e" (or use sudo) and on one line you will see the

clientmqueue.  You can comment it out with a # at the beginning of the line.

If something were to break (it did not break for me), you could just uncomment

the line.
I don't recall whether I had to manually add something to /etc/rc.local in

order to have Postfix start when the machine boots, but I believe I did have

to add this:
echo -n ' postfix'; /usr/local/sbin/postfix start
If Postfix does not start after a reboot and you know it is not due to a

faulty configuration, try adding that line to /etc/rc.local and then

rebooting.
