the sendmail-8.10.1 release notes have this to say on the subject:

        MAIL.LOCAL: Will not be installed setuid root.  To use mail.local
                as local delivery agent without LMTP mode, use
                MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `+S')
                to set the S flag.

but i'm not sure of the lineage of the mail.local that netbsd actually
uses, nor if the one that's installed is the one from newer sendmails
or not.
