Is sendmail enabled (in rc.conf). By default on a NetBSD install, just
about nothing is turned on. Sendmail certainly isn't on by default
(though that shouldn't affect local mail, which is what the daily security
report should be ... or perhaps now it will, with the new sendmail
submission method, where mail goes from one process to another).
Never occurred to me, I just enable sendmail as one of my first actions
(long time before /etc/daily gets a chance to run).
