DougB> The problem is, the users are getting confused. Neither of the methods

I guess the standard way would be:

sendmail_enable=NO
sendmail_submit_enable=NO
sendmail_outbound_enable=NO
sendmail_msp_queue_enable=NO

This is (and was) always available.  sendmail_enable=NONE is just a
shortcut that has the same effect as setting all four to NO.  With that in
mind, the only other thing that could be added is a
sendmail_dont_run_at_all variable that, if set to YES, is exactly the same
as:

1. sendmail_enable=NONE, or
2. mta_start_script="", or
3. sendmail_enable=NO
   sendmail_submit_enable=NO
   sendmail_outbound_enable=NO
   sendmail_msp_queue_enable=NO

My preference is not to add a fourth equivalent method to the above list.
