That small section in /detc/defaults/rc.conf only hints at
what you can now do at run time.

All the variable are documented.    "man sendmail.rc"   will give you
information on 9 flags - so you can run sendmail in many modes -
one of which it outbound only which could have some advantages and
let your retreive inbound from elsewhere.
