From /usr/src/UPDATING:
20020411: New sendmail startup scripts have been installed to make it easier to use alternative MTAs with FreeBSD. The rc.conf variable mta_start_script can be set to a script for starting an alternative MTA or to "" to prevent any MTA from being started at boot.
So the answer is yes. :)
Mark.
Thanks, Mark. I didn't know that I can find answer of this kind in UPDATING :) You enlightened me.
One more question about /etc/rc.conf, is the order in which you list the options important?
