By default sendmail is available for handling outgoing mail, but is  
not listening as an MTA for external connections.  You can set:

	sendmail_enable="NONE"

...in /etc/rc.conf to completely disable sendmail.  In that case, you  
ought to disable parts of the daily periodic reporting stuff which  
involve sendmail.
