Are you really using 'example.com' as your domain name?

My usual suggestion is to prefer something that doesn't stand a great chance of being a valid, registered domain name, i.e.: domain = keramida.priv The answer to your question ``how to make mail work?'' should be in the Handbook. If it isn't, you will have to show us all the options related to `sendmail_xxx' variables from your `/etc/rc.conf' file, and some files from the `/etc/mail' directory.
