Your reply gave the clues that I needed to make further progress on this problem. I now have sendmail listening on *.smtp. I had to also add the lines: mta_enable="YES" mta_flags="-bd" to my rc.conf file so that the /usr/loca/etc/rc.d/mta script would run and have the right flags for sendmail. Without the -bd flag sendmail would print out a message about needing recipients and then just hang there at startup. I still don't understand what may have changed between 6.x and 7.x. (I have none of the mta_* variables specified in my 6.4 system's rc.conf.)
