though I would personally prefer to see the broken nameservers fixed
instead of standards compliant applications work around them, I can't
force FreeBSD users to help fight that battle.

NO_SENDMAIL make.conf setting. Users can still set mta_start_script to a
different script.
This commit is after a repo-copy of src/etc/sendmail/rc.sendmail to

As an alternative to sendmail_enable=NONE, solve the boot time problem
for non-sendmail users completely by moving all of the sendmail startup
code from /etc/rc to /etc/rc.sendmail. The source for that script will
be kept in src/etc/sendmail/rc.sendmail so make.conf's NO_SENDMAIL will
prevent it from being installed. A new rc.conf variable,
mta_start_script specifies the script to run to start the user's
preferred MTA. For backward compatibility, it will default to
/etc/rc.sendmail. The specified script is called out of /etc/rc after
checking to make sure it exists. A new rc.sendmail.8 man page has also
been added which now houses the sendmail_* variable descriptions
formerly in rc.conf.5.
Use /etc/rc.sendmail in /etc/mail/Makefile to reduce code duplication.

1) blackholes.mail-abuse.org is the same as FEATURE(dnsbl), so specifying
it in the "Other DNS based black hole lists" section leads to confusion of
specifying it twice.
2) Formatting issues. If error diagnostic not enclosed in double quotes,
varius visual artefacts appearse like 1) no space after ; and 2) redundant
space after ? (in CGI request), so I add quotes where needed.
3) FEATURE(dnsbl) directly use error code 550 by default, so I made other
dnsbl variants use the same error code too.
4) Comment relays.* list as "open relays" list, just "other" word is not
explain enough.

users should be configuring via m4 now. If set, use m4 to create the .cf
file. Also, if either SENDMAIL_MC or SENDMAIL_CF is set, 'make install' or
'make distribution' in src/etc/sendmail/ will install the appropriate .cf as
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf. This fixes some mergemaster problems.

Makefile to the etc/sendmail Makefile to be consistent with all of the
other /var file creations. In doing so, change the Makefile target from
etc-sendmail.cf to distribution as it installs more than just the sendmail.cf.
Beyond changes to the build system, this includes fixing up the sample
freebsd.mc configuration for changes in defaults and syntax, removing
outdated documentation, and updating the release notes.
The current offical Sendmail Inc. version uses /var/mail/ and when we upgrade
our repository to that version, we will get the change. It is best to make
the path change in 4.0-R (which may not have the latest Sendmail Inc. version,
than to change in mid-4.x stream when we may upgrade.

I have not enabled rbl by default, I understand an 'opt-in' is a key part
of it's legal protection.
Activate a few optional features (access_db, virtusertable, etc) which will
operate if (and only if) the corresponding table is created.
I've also turned on the MIME buffer overflow checking with sendmail.org's
recommended values (256/128).
This needs to be revisited - we need a simple way of building/installing
these at runtime from the installed system's /etc/mail directory.
