I'm no expert on Sendmail but you are aware that "dnl" is Sendmail's way
of commenting out a line, aren't you? In your config you have disabled
pretty much every configuration file in /etc/mail, especially
/etc/mail/access which defines who can relay mail through the local MTA.
I'm pretty sure this isn't a good idea. Apart from this I couldn't see
any major differences between your config and FreeBSD's default. Why not
try to use the default config and make sure to populate /etc/mail/access
with at least "127.0.0.1 RELAY" and try again?
