No, this is logging from Allman Sendmail, when you correctly install
and configure Postfix, /bin/mail will invoke Postfix's sendmail(1),
rather than Sendmail's sendmail(1). Please don't argue this point,
just accept it as given or convince yourself of it, and get the
sendmail(1) links or files setup correctly for Postfix. This has
little to do with /bin/mail. With RHEL mail is not part of Sendmail:

# rpm -qf /bin/mail
mailx-8.1.1-31

If this is not the case with your system, someone goofed, since you
should be able to remove Sendmail without removing /bin/mail.
