sendmail_enable accepts a str value and not a bool value. You have more cho=
ice
than to start or not to start sendmail daemon. As stated in rc.sendmail(8)
manpage:
[...]
These variables are used to determine how the sendmail(8) daemons are
started:
# MTA
if (${sendmail_enable} =3D=3D NONE)
# Do nothing
else if (${sendmail_enable} =3D=3D YES)
start sendmail with ${sendmail_flags}
else if (${sendmail_submit_enable} =3D=3D YES)
start sendmail with ${sendmail_submit_flags}
else if (${sendmail_outbound_enable} =3D=3D YES)
start sendmail with ${sendmail_outbound_flags}
endif
# MSP Queue Runner
if (${sendmail_enable} !=3D NONE &&
[ -r /etc/mail/submit.cf] &&
${sendmail_msp_queue_enable} =3D=3D YES)
start sendmail with ${sendmail_msp_queue_flags}
endif
