echo -n ' sendmail'
/usr/sbin/sendmail $sendmail_flags /dev/null 21
fi

it's unwise because you won't get the daily security
mails. it's
unnecessary because it only listens on localhost.

What is this supposed to result in that a ``sendmail_flags=NO'' in
/etc/rc.conf.local

You use sendmail on your localhost. Please read FAQ carefully.
