If NONE is deprecated, then perhaps it would have been better to set the four variables to NO in the modifcation. Also, I wonder whether the value of "mta_start_script" in rc.conf should be changed to reflect that the default MTA is no longer sendmail, and also what the role of /etc/rc.d/othermta should be (and whether it should be updated as well).
