You can upgrade to 8.12.7 from sendmail.org.  These newer versions of
sendmail make it harder to accidentilly run an open relay.

And if your feeling really confident, give Postfix a try. :)
http://www.postfix.org.

Both of these MTA's are in your ports, but your going to need to `cvsup`
your ports tree before you use them (since your version of FreeBSD is
rather old).  For info on that read this section
in the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

Good luck!
