hrmm.
All depends on how the master rc script processes links in the rc?.d/ dirs.
I would be inclined to rename the S*sendmail and K*sendmail links to
s*sendmail and k*sendmail (little 's' and little 'k').
Or you can edit the script that these links point to and put a big ol' exit
0 at the top.

| A better way would be to rename the file from S**sendmail to K**sendmail.
