Hello, this problem has been solved more than once, but it comes back 
again, from time to time.
In /etc/defaults/rc.conf options for sendmail_enable are (YES/NO).
However in /etc/rc.sendmail the case is build up with (YES/NONE) options.
So you cannot avoid sendmail from running using sendmail_enable in 
rc.conf with the NO option. It has to be NONE.

As it is easier to patch /etc/defaults/rc.conf, here's the diff file:
