And in fact man 8 rc.sendmail says (under sendmail_enable in the RC.CONF
VARIABLES section):
The ``NONE'' option is deprecated and should not be used. It will be removed
in a future release.
and later in the manpage:
To completely prevent any sendmail(8) daemons from starting, you must set the
following variables in /etc/rc.conf:
sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"
