I 'see this' in man rc.sendmail(8):

sendmail_enable
    (str) If set to ``YES'', run the sendmail(8) daemon at system
    boot time.  If set to ``NO'', do not run a sendmail(8) daemon to
    listen for incoming network mail.	This does not preclude a
    sendmail(8) daemon listening on the SMTP port of the loopback
    interface.  The ``NONE'' option is deprecated and should not be
    used.  It will be removed in a future release.
