 Glen Barber kindly explained what's going on:
 
 > In rc.conf, sendmail="NO" allows outbound-only mail.
 > sendmail="NONE" tells sendmail not to send mail out at all.
 >
 > sendmail="NO" is useful when sending system mail out is
 > necessary, but the machine is not intended to receive mail.
 
 Apparently, the comment in line 510 in /etc/defaults/rc.conf has room
 for improvement. It should mention all three instead of only two
 options. I've added a new patch and hope this can be applied to FreeBSD
 8 & 9 as well.
