 This is the only reference to sendmail in /etc/rc :
 
           # Delete any recovery files that are zero length,
           # corrupted, or that have no corresponding backup file.
           # Else send mail to the user.
           recfile=`awk '/^X-vi-recover-path:/{print $2}' < "${i}"`
           if [ -n "${recfile}" -a -s "${recfile}" ]; then
                   sendmail -t < "${i}"
           else
                   rm -f "${i}"
           fi
 
 It's sending mail, which is not quite the same as starting sendmail.
 
 Or do you mean something else ?
