What specific file is missing?

Do you have ./usr/share/doc/smm/08.sendmailop/op.me?
or ./usr/share/sendmail/README?

No. As far as I know those files are now freely available. I don't think
NetBSD has all of the old historical documents though.

You can easily find them using Google; for example, FreeBSD has copies of
the old documentation available via their website.

What version of NetBSD? You can download misc.tgz from a NetBSD.org
download mirror.

(You don't need to email same questions twice.)
