Hadn't had sendmail working before, and I'm not running a name server
on the FreeBSD box.
The name server is the DCHP server is the router / NAT for a modem
link and is running on NT4 machine that I have to use

/etc/dhclient.script updates /etc/resolv.conf

I have these two lines that allow my FreeBSD name server to be used
in preference to the outside ones.

supersede domain-name "your-domain.net";
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;

If you had sendmail working before this should be enough to get you
going.
