After installing a fresh system (current/amd64),
I noticed that afterboot(8) still mentions Sendmail
as the default mailer:
Sendmail
The default mail agent on OpenBSD is sendmail(8).
Details on how to configure an alternative mailer
are documented in mailer.conf(5).
Is this known? Below is a small diff, but I suppose
the smtpd autors will want to be more specific.

This makes it possible to send mail locally, but not receive mail from remote
servers, which is ideal if you have one central incoming mail machine and
several clients.
