Sorry, after posting my question, I found two different answers:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=104206+0+archive/2000/freebsd-isp/20001029.freebsd-isp

suggesting to add
MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `+S')dnl

and
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1474529+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2001/freebsd-questions/20010304.freebsd-questions

suggesting to add:

FEATURE(local_lmtp)dnl
define(`LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS', LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS`'P)dnl


The first one results in an additon of "S" flag for mail.local
The second one results in addition of SXfz 
(and extra (i.e. duplicated) "P" at the end)


So, two questions:
1. Why isn't this "S" flag set in the FreeBSD distribution by default
(well, I understand, that it would run mail.local as a root)
or at least it is not mentioned anywhere during the setup.
(It's a new feature, and many people installing 4.x releases
are completely lost about it) 


2.  Where can I find the explnation of the Xfz flags functions ?
I was not able to find it neither in the documentation provided in
/usr/src/contrib/sendmail, nor at www.sendmail.org


Thanks,

Igor
