   This is a feature, it's to avoid situation where the admin puts a custom file

this is *not* a feature.  it is seemingly a deliberate attempt to make
every NetBSD user who runs sendmail pissed off.

   /etc/sendmail.cf and believe it's used; where sendmail is using
   /etc/mail/sendmail.cf shipped by default with NetBSD. Various problems can
   result from this, from security issues to lost mails.

this is a bug in NetBSD.  you are forcing people to not have a
/etc/sendmail.cf, something that they've had for what, 15 years, now?
   
   You can remove the check *if you really know what you're doing*.

the check should be removed.


f*ck, IMO, sendmail.cf should never have moved.
