I needed to add it back because I couldn't make a release. what error messages are you getting? i've been following -current for a while, and deleted sendmail when that page was updated, but have not had any problems (did 'make release' last night). my situation is not exactly the same as yours though, since i did a fresh install from a snapshot before following -current. just as an aside, i usually pipe the output thru 'tee' to save a copy for later checking eg if i get errors.

I was surprised to see that the various apparently sendmail-specific files in /etc/mail are not in the ‘Files to delete and move’ list in upgrade56.html, now that sendmail is no longer in base. I suspect that either there are other reasons to keep the contents of this directory as-is post 5.6 upgrade, or I missed a step in the upgrade guide. I’m new to OpenBSD, so clue sticks are welcome.

Sendmail is still here on 5.6. It's just not the default MTA anymore. It got removed after 5.6 was tagged (i.e. was will become 5.7) and it will be part of the files to delete: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html#20140915 -- Antoine
