	As I understand it, you are required to run an MTA if you want to receive
any kind of mail.  However, the default config is to only accept connnections
from localhost.
	Do you actually have any sendmail lines in rc.conf?  The default setting
is _not_ sendmail=NO.  Read the comment in /etc/default/rc.conf for details.
