Since FreeBSD 2.2.5R there is a /etc/mail directory, which contains
a working anti-spam solution. I'd advise you to upgrade to 2.2.6-STABLE,
or wait a little until Sendmail 8.9.0 comes in FreeBSD, and then upgrade.
Sendmail 8.9.0 has built-in rules, turned ``on'' by default, to prevent
unauthorized relaying and spamming.
