>From looking at the Makefile in '/usr/src/gnu/usr.sbin', the parent
directory of 'sendmail' in the source tree, it seems that you could
change the line

	SUBDIR+=        mkisofs mkhybrid sendmail

to

	SUBDIR+=        mkisofs mkhybrid

I don't know if that's the "accepted" way of doing it, however.  The
file '/usr/share/mk/bsd.README' has some information on configuring
the source build process, but there doesn't seem to be anything there
about controlling it at the level of turning on/off 'sendmail's build.
