From the following page:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mail-changingmta.html


26.4.2.3 FreeBSD 5.0-STABLE and Later
In order to completely disable sendmail, including the outgoing mail service, you must use

sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"
in /etc/rc.conf.

If you only want to disable sendmail's incoming mail service, you should set

sendmail_enable="NO"
