I'm sorry, but this is the *third* time I am asking the same thing, and
it's getting a bit boring.  Do you _really_ want help, or just to have a
bit of email fun for a while?

You still haven't shown us:

    * How your local rc system starts Sendmail

    * The active Sendmail processes you have now

Your DNS is broken, and Sendmail cannot resolve `monster-freebsd'.
That's not a Sendmail issue, so I'm ignoring that for now.

No submission service running.  You have to start at least some process
which listens on 127.0.0.1:25 for incoming email requests and a queue
runner for clientmqueue.  I haven't seen any "ps xauwww" output for the
Sendmail processes you are currently running, so no idea why you don't
have a listener on 127.0.0.1:25.
