 "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.
