Tis is incorrect. The mail program does not need /etc/postfix. The mail program invokes a 'sendmail' program that is supplied by Apple, and that program needs /etc/postfix. Symlinking /etc/postfix -> /usr/local/etc/postfix creates a hybrid: /usr/bin/mail, uses a hard-coded pathname to find -> Apple Postfix /usr/sbin/sendmail, uses your main.cf to find -> Your postdrop, uses your main.cf to find -> Your Postfix queue.
