It's also in UPDATING, although I get the impression that very few
people read it anymore, despite the efforts that developers put in
keep it up to date :-/

: 20020404:
:         The sendmail startup code in /etc/rc has been changed to deal
:         with a non-set-user-ID sendmail binary.  Setting the rc.conf
:         variable sendmail_enable to "NO" no longer prevents any sendmail
:         daemons from starting.  Instead, set sendmail_enable to "NONE"
:         to prevent any MTA from being started at boot.
