Probably a sendmail list is a good approach.  There's not much that's OS
specific about this question, so while no doubt you'll find help on the
freebsd lists, you might get there quicker with a specific mailing list or
newsgroup.  Come to that, a search of archives at www.egroups.com or
www.dejanews.com would get it pretty quickly.  Or a FAQ.  The
freebsd-security list is not the one you want.  Amongst the freebsd lists,
try freebsd-questions or perhaps freebsd-isp.

http://www.harker.com/sendmail/sendmail-ref.html is not a bad starting
point for sendmail stuff.  Their sendmail.cf configurator system will
probably give you what you need without very much understanding of
sendmail.  It's basically a cgi based expert system which asks you
questions and then spits out a sendmail.cf file.  Seems to work OK.
