    I would recommend splitting the -bd and -q options in rc.conf ...
    sendmail shouldn't be running both from the same process instance anyway.
    (this from my experience running sendmail at BEST, at home, at Backplane,
    etc...).  Simply have two rc.conf variables for sendmail:

    sendmail_enable="YES"
    sendmail_flags="-bd"

    sendmailq_enable="YES"	# suggest you leave this on even if 
    sendmailq_flags="-q30m"	# the sendmail daemon is turned off.

    Then get rid of the period entry for sendmail, it violates the rc.conf
    configuration methodology in a very bad way.  This way when people
    upgrade, they will automatically get the queue-run code even if their
    original rc.conf turned off the daemon.  The only mod they have to make
    to truely turn sendmail off is to add sendmailq_enable="NO".
