Disclaimer: I do not use sendmail, during last decade and a half I use
postfix, and am very happy about it (postfix was written with security in
mind...) 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.
