sendmail_outbound_enable was added over a year ago -- it has nothing to do
with the 8.12 import:

  Revision 1.94, Tue Mar 13 05:53:16 2001 UTC (12 months, 1 week ago) by peter 
  Branch: MAIN 
  Changes since 1.93: +5 -3 lines
  Diff to previous 1.93 (colored)

  At great personal risk, touch the sendmail startup again.  This adds easy
  seperate knobs for inbound (accepting SMTP connections) and outbound (just
  occasionally dequeueing) sendmail daemon startup.

It's always happened if sendmail_enable was set to "NO".  That's how Peter
wanted it.

I think this is an exaggeration.  You don't need to learn the internals of
sendmail.  You need to either read /etc/mail/README or read the rc.conf man
page.
