Read /etc/mail/README.  It goes into great detail as to why this is
necessary and alternatives if you don't want a local submission daemon.

You can put this in your rc.conf:

sendmail_submit_flags="-L sm-mta-submit -bd -q30m -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=loca
lhost -OProcessTitlePrefix=sendmail-local-only"
