Maybe allow something new, like

COMPLETELY_DISABLE_SENDMAIL="YES"

so we have one definitive way to disable all sendmail processes, rather 
than having to keep an eye out for all various SENDMAIL_*="NO" directives 
which may change over time.

Some sort of script like /usr/local/etc/rc.d/$MTA.sh would be used for 
startup, like any other third party daemon.

Is this just one 'bump' with the 8.12.x series that will not rear its head 
again for a long while?
