Perhaps..

schulte+freebsd> Some sort of script like /usr/local/etc/rc.d/$MTA.sh would

It wouldn't be in /usr/local/etc/rc.d as sendmail is part of the base
system.  Work is going on in -CURRENT (although stalled at the moment) to
move to an /etc/rc.d/ system.

It's a bump as unlink previous releases, sendmail 8.12 is no longer
set-user-ID root.  This required a lot of work on the infrastructure.
However, I can't guarantee things won't change over time.
