As pointed out by Peter Wemm (and Sheldon Hearn in private mail)
it is better to keep the sendmail binary installed in
/usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail even when NO_MAILWRAPPER is defined.
In this case we should make symlinks for sendmail, mailq and newaliases:
--- usr.sbin/sendmail/Makefile.ORI Sat Aug 4 09:07:27 2001
+++ usr.sbin/sendmail/Makefile Wed Aug 15 15:16:33 2001

version.c
BINMODE=4555
+.if defined(NO_MAILWRAPPER)
+SYMLINKS= ${BINDIR}/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail \
+ ${BINDIR}/sendmail /usr/bin/newaliases \
+ ${BINDIR}/sendmail /usr/bin/mailq
+.endif

# Define the database format to use for aliases et al.
DBMDEF= -DNEWDB
# If you don't want NIS alias/map support, comment out this line
If neither NO_SENDMAIL nor NO_MAILWRAPPER are set everything
stays as is (as it was before).
If only NO_MAILWRAPPER is defined the system won't be without a working
/usr/sbin/sendmail due to the link to /usr/libexec/sendmail
If only NO_SENDMAIL is defined it's up to the user to modify
mailer.conf to invoke his sendmail properly (as it was before).
If both are defined nothing gets installed (as it was before).
The etc/Makefile diff (see above) is still ok, I think.
