Correction, this IS the default:

ruben@ei:/home/ruben> grep sendmail_enable /etc/defaults/rc.conf
sendmail_enable="NO"    # Run the sendmail inbound daemon (YES/NO).

Setting sendmail_enable to "NONE" is what will disable sending mail from
the local host. The OP has allready configured sendmail the way he wants.
