Is that after a reboot or you only changed the rc.conf?

If the second, do a "kill `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid`" and it
will stop running (telnet to port smtp to confirm yourself if it's
really dead)

If you rebooted the machine yes, if the machine hasn't rebooted,
"kill `cat /var/run/cron.pid`" will stop it.
