You mean this man rc.sendmail?
RC.SENDMAIL(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual
NAME
rc.sendmail -- sendmail(8) startup script
DESCRIPTION
The rc.sendmail script is used by /etc/rc at boot time to start
sendmail(8). It is meant to be sendmail(8) specific and not a
generic script for all MTAs.
Contrast with the handbook entry, for changing the MTA for a given
machine:
22.4 Changing Your Mail Transfer Agent
22.4.4 Replacing sendmail as the System's Default Mailer
Which addresses the OPs original request, I think: "...some
documentation to fully move from sendmail to exim on a 5.3 machine."
I don't interpret the NONE directive as deprecated, for the
mailer.conf wrapper, which is what should be used to "...fully
move..." from sendmail to Exim, AFAICT.
man mailer.conf and man mailwrapper.
