You should add the following to your /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1               localhost localhost.my.domain

You don't have any reference between the name "localhost" and the 127
address.

I assume the localhost is the problem but i cant figure out where to =
change
that setting. My /etc/hosts looks:
127.0.0.1	bathory	bathory.aria
::1	bathory	bathory.aria
192.168.0.203	bathory	bathory.aria
And in my /etc/rc.conf i have hostname=3D"bathory.aria"
My sendmail configuration looks like this(/etc/rc.conf):
mta_start_script=3D"/etc/rc.sendmail"
sendmail_enable=3D"YES"
sendmail_flags=3D"-L sm-mta -bd -q30m" # Flags to sendmail (as a server)
sendmail_submit_enable=3D"YES"	# Start a localhost-only MTA for mail
submission
sendmail_submit_flags=3D"-L sm-mta -bd -q30m
-ODaemonPortOptions=3DAddr=3Dlocalhost`"
sendmail_outbound_enable=3D"YES"
sendmail_outbound_flags=3D"-L sm-queue -q30m"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable=3D"YES"=09
sendmail_msp_queue_flags=3D"-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m"

This is the default configureation with 4.6 i assumed it would work. The =
one
possible sollution i came up with was chaging the=20
sendmail_submit_flags=3D"-L sm-mta -bd -q30m
-ODaemonPortOptions=3DAddr=3Dlocalhost"
to
sendmail_submit_flags=3D"-L sm-mta -bd -q30m
-ODaemonPortOptions=3DAddr=3Dbathory.aria"

but that doesnt work. Will someone please help me out. I have no idea =
what
to do `
