I really don't want sendmail anyway so I will definitly try your suggestion.
I have a dialup account and my freebsd box gets it's ip/dns info via dhcp
from the router. It looks like I'll have to setup dns locally then so it
works whether I'm connected online or not and see if that works.

On the chance that you really don't want sendmail (if only to run a 
different MTA such as exim, postfix or qmail), you have to set two 
values in rc.conf:

sendmail_enable="NO"
mta_start_script=""

It's the latter one that tripped me up. But anyway, you do need 
functional DNS.
