It seems that the rc.d script invokes pkgsrc postfix not base
postfix.  You can find the original one in the etc installation set^[0],
fetching, locally extracting in a temporary directory it and overwriting
/etc/rc.d/postfix with the one from etc.tgz should do the trick.^[1]


[0]: E.g. for NetBSD/amd64 8.0 (probably the port will not made any
     difference for the rc.d postfix script though):

      <http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-8.0/amd64/binary/sets/etc.tgz>

[1]: If the daily script ran at least one time before overwriting the
     postfix rc.d script another possible way to recover it is by
     looking at /var/backups/etc/rc.d, then inspect the revisions via:

      # rlog postfix.current

     ...and pick up the proper revision (e.g. if 1.1 is the one)

      # co -p 1.1 postfix.current
