"NO" _can_ be used. It's meaning is different than "NONE." "NO" means
not to run the sendmail(8) listener, but the submitting and 'outbound'
daemons can still be run.
See rc.sendmail(8) for details. If you feel the documentation is
lacking, please submit a new PR with your ideas for improvements, but
the code works as desired.
