Thank you for taking care of this one so quickly.

A few rough corners I still see:

1) sendmail_cert_create should perhaps be set to NO in rc.conf, or the=20
call to sendmail_cert_create() in rc.d/sendmail should also depend on=20
some form of sendmail being enabled. The former action seems easier.

2) the role of rc.d/othermta is quite bizarre, especially now that it=20
checks for a non-existing script (/etc/rc.sendmail). I wonder whether it=20
should be retired, together with the rc.conf variable mta_start_script=20
(which now is set to a non-existing script). It feels like a relic from=20
a long gone past.

3) the comments on some of the sendmail_* variables in rc.conf mention a=20
generic "MTA", but perhaps they should say "sendmail", as that's not the=20
one-and-only MTA.

Thanks,
Matteo
