The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
local delivery, it is important that you also update your
sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
loopback interface.
