However, occasionally it takes me some time after setting up new FreeBSD box before I switch to postfix, and in an interim, I never noticed sendmail to be broken. Again, I'm not a big fan of sendmail (though waaay back "configure sendmail" was part of sysadmin test I had to pass), but to say sendmail config on FreeBSD is broken is unfair IMHO.
