There's a bit in the FAQ now (in the networking section - 10.7.9 
currently).

Essentially, you need to "set log +tcp/ip", determine the rogue 
program (sendmail in your case) and add a few lines to ppp.conf:

  set dfilter 1 deny udp src eq 25
  set dfilter 2 deny udp dst eq 25
  set dfilter 3 permit 0/0 0/0
