How come this is so hard. Just do a grep for sendmail
in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and you get:
2$ grep sendmail /etc/defaults/rc.conf
mta_start_script="/etc/rc.sendmail"
# Settings for /etc/rc.sendmail:
sendmail_enable="YES" # Run the sendmail inbound daemon (YES/NO/NONE).
# If NONE, don't start any sendmail processes.
sendmail_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m" # Flags to sendmail (as a server)
sendmail_submit_enable="YES" # Start a localhost-only MTA for mail submission
sendmail_submit_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost"
sendmail_outbound_enable="YES" # Dequeue stuck mail (YES/NO).
sendmail_outbound_flags="-L sm-queue -q30m" # Flags to sendmail (outbound only)
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="YES" # Dequeue stuck clientmqueue mail (YES/NO).
sendmail_msp_queue_flags="-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m"
# Flags for sendmail_msp_queue daemon.
And the read the lines about sendmail_enable!
