Sorry for missing this: this man page is not linked from sendmail(8),=20
nor from rc(8), nor mentioned in the script that it describes, although=20
it is linked from rc.conf(5) (and from no other manpage, as far as I can=20
tell).

If NONE is deprecated, then perhaps it would have been better to set the=20
four variables to NO in the modifcation.

Also, I wonder whether the value of "mta_start_script" in rc.conf should=20
be changed to reflect that the default MTA is no longer sendmail, and=20
also what the role of /etc/rc.d/othermta should be (and whether it=20
should be updated as well).

Thanks,
Matteo
