I think this'd be more suited to being a daily script and should be
turn-offable in periodic.conf.
It'd probably also be better to source the rc.conf files and not
bother doing anythin if $sendmail_flags contains '-[a-zA-Z]*q'.
The reason I don't like /etc/crontab having this is that I keep all
(well, most of) my machines with virgin /etc/crontab files and all
local root crontabs are maintained with crontab(1). This just makes
the mergemaster bit one step longer (for people who don't want to run
this extra sendmail -q) :-(
