>Description:
afterboot(8) doesn't describe Postfix as the default MTA, although that
is the case since NetBSD 4.0. Above that, some minor changes which would
make the text more clear are given in this PR.
>How-To-Repeat:
"man 8 afterboot"; search for the `Postfix' section (and other sections; see
patch below).
