Not at all.  Because he has

sendmail_flags=-bd -q30m

in his /etc/netstart (thus /bin/sh tries to run a command "-q30m" with
a temporary environment variable "sendmail_flags" whose value set to
"-bd"; hence "-q30m: not found"), sendmail_flags isn't set to NO when
/etc/rc is executed.  In fact sendmail_flags is empty, so that sendmail
is invoked with *no argument* (or an empty argument) which means it
tries to send something to someone neither which is specified to it.

Make sense to you?
