It handles incoming messages using POP outgoing messages fine, since they're all routed through my isp in the normal way. However, I can't get local mail (the sort of stuff the root user gets from crontab and periodic), send-pr, or just "echo howdy | sendmail anotheruser " to work successfully because sendmail (which I've disabled in rc.conf with "NONE") isn't configured and doesn't know the right host to direct outgoing mail with. So my question is how does one set up sendmail so that it can only pass on local messages to the system mail queue and smtpserver.myisp.com? The latter can be done easily with any crumby windows email client. I had it working a while back, but with the recent changes (yes, probably for the better) I'm at a loss.
