This isn't really an answer to your question, but I find qmail to be much easier to configure for such things. And it's supposed to be faster, more reliable and more secure. People say the same about postfix too (which is what hub.freebsd.org uses, it seems). Personally, I think learning how to use the sendmail config files isn't worth the effort. Life is short... Rahul.
