According to rc.sendmail(8), setting sendmail_enable to NONE is deprecated: you're supposed to disable each part of sendmail separately, as outlined in [1].
Note that sshd is started right before sendmail:

so the delay in starting sendmail is not affecting your ability to use the machine - unless you need to log in on the serial console, which you really shouldn't for regular operation anyway.
All in all, I think we can leave things as they are.
Yes, I noticed that sshd is started before sendmail, but I didn't know (properly checked) that setting it to "NONE" is deprecated. From the man page we would need to set 4 options to "NO" which is not worth it. Other possible solution would be to set hostname to $domname.local, that would make sendmail happy as well. Pavel
