stopping sendmail completely

[Mark Frasa]

Hi, I wish to stop sendmail from starting during boot up completely
since I don't need it. And I found this on the net:

 > By the way, if getting rid of Sendmail is your goal, then
 > sendmail_enable="NONE", while working, is not the best solution.
 > sendmail_enable, like the other sendmail_* knobs, is an rc.sendmail

Does this mean that I only need to add the entry:
#------------------------------
mta_startup_script=""
#-----------------------------
in /etc/rc.conf to stop sendmail completely?

Thanks.

        New sendmail startup scripts have been installed to make it
        easier to use alternative MTAs with FreeBSD.  The rc.conf
        variable mta_start_script can be set to a script for starting
        an alternative MTA or to "" to prevent any MTA from being
        started at boot.

So the answer is yes. :)

Mark.
