State-Changed-Why:  
Probably you lost the sendmail_enable=NO setting in your 
rc.conf file due to the method with which you upgraded. 
Not much that can be done about that from here :-)

 Yeah..apparently what you meant to say is "using the upgrade target of
 sysinstall doesn't allow you to merge in changes to the mailer.conf
 file, but always clobbers it leaving you with a possibly broken
 mailer" which would have been a useful bug report to start with :-)
