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.
There is additional information in that man page about how to further
tweak sendmail's startup. Recommended reading.
