As far as I can see there's nothing wrong with postfix.
If you use postfix's sendmail to send a message while the postfix
daemons are not running, it will get queued and sent as soon as you
restart postfix.
If you _never_ intend to start the postfix daemons, you shouldn't have
postfix installed at all; then you won't be fooled by postfix's version
of sendmail (which understandably expects that you will occasionally
have postfix running!).
If OS-X has postfix installed but doesn't start it by default, that's
just sort of stupid; complain to Apple.
[I'm not sure why they don't want to run it though -- postfix has a
reputation as being very secure.]
