yeah...that's pretty much what it does, except that since the rc.subr
system only deals in yes and no values, the UNCONFIGURED setting gets
changed to yes by rc.d/sendmail so that everything's happy.  when
appropriate, of course.

that's obviously not right.  a fix for your pr 26391 is easy enough,
but explicitly setting sendmail to no should work also.  indeed, it
works for me (where i've specifically changed nothing, so i'm getting
the "magic" setting):

	# /etc/rc.d/sendmail rcvar
	# sendmail
	$sendmail=YES
	echo sendmail=no >> /etc/rc.conf
	# /etc/rc.d/sendmail rcvar
	# sendmail
	$sendmail=NO
	# 

can you send me a copy of your rc.conf under a separate cover?
