Pull up revision 1.90 (requested by atatat in ticket #662):
  Change the default settings for sendmail:
  1) The stock sendmail.cf will only listen on the loopback
     interface
  2) The stock submit.cf specifically connects to "localhost.",
     which should be less susceptible to being confused or
     looking confused.
  3) The SMTP listener starts by default, if needed.  The
     setting in /etc/default/rc.conf is still "no", but
     rc.d/sendmail detects the default setting and will change
     it to "yes" if need is determined.
  "Need" is defined as "nothing else seems to have been
  changed about the mail configuration but we would like
  locally originated and locally destined mail to be delivered".
  If you change e.g. mailer.conf to point to postfix or some
  other MTA, sendmail will not start.
