You can notice it by looking for this message while booting:
"Oct 23 08:31:19 libvirt-freebsd-10 sm-mta[667]: My unqualified host
name (libvirt-freebsd-10) unknown; sleeping for retry"

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:
...
Performing sanity check on sshd configuration.
Starting sshd.
Starting sendmail_submit.

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.

Agreed.

This is a much smaller change, so the effort / gain ratio seems
reasonable. Personally I wouldn't bother, but if the console delay
bugs you enough to write a patch I won't have a problem with it :)
