/etc/rc.conf contains the flags for Sendmail.

The /etc/rc.sendmail script can be used to stop, start or restart the
Sendmail daemon processes.

This doesn't look like a daemon invocation of Sendmail (i.e. no -bd
flags are present).  The -t option means it's probably an invocation of
Sendmail from another user process, which is currently posting a
message.
