New sendmail startup scripts have been installed to make it
easier to use alternative MTAs with FreeBSD. Setting the rc.conf
variable sendmail_enable to "NO" no longer prevents any sendmail
daemons from starting. Instead, either set sendmail_enable to
"NONE" or change mta_start_script to a script for starting
an alternative MTA. Setting mta_start_script to "" will
also prevent any MTA from being started at boot.

Due to the import of sendmail 8.12.2 (see 20020217 entry), a new
user and group are required in order for sendmail to run as a
set-group-ID binary. A 'make installworld' will use the new user
and group to set the owner and group of /var/spool/clientmqueue
and will fail if the new user and group do not exist. The 'smmsp'
user and group must be merged from src/etc/group and
src/etc/master.passwd before using 'make installworld'.
