Be sure to have the correct sendmail command in /etc/rc.conf
(see /etc/defaults/rc.conf), sendmail_enable="YES" or
sendmail_submit_enable="YES".

If you sent a mail to a user, check if his mailbox has gotten
the massage, it is /var/mail/$USER.

I don't think so.

Did you put the proper ifconfig line in /etc/rc.conf?
