ca> 8.12 will most likely have a workaround for this (as usual
ca> sendmail provides a workaround for almost every broken
ca> configuration...)

Also, note this from 8.11.2 (to be MFC'ed to RELENG_4 in the near future):

 When attempting to canonify a hostname, some broken name servers will
 return SERVFAIL (a temporary failure) on T_AAAA (IPv6) lookups.  If you
 want to excuse this behavior, compile sendmail with
 -D_FFR_WORKAROUND_BROKEN_NAMESERVERS.  However, instead, we recommend catching
 the problem and reporting it to the name server administrator so we can rid
 the world of broken name servers.

You can do this in your FreeBSD build by adding this to /etc/make.conf:

SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-D_FFR_WORKAROUND_BROKEN_NAMESERVERS
