Can't say for sure. It's looks a lot like sendmail is handling your incoming SMTP, though; that's sendmail's message ID type you've listed there. It might be wise to instruct FBSD not build sendmail at all; IIRC (but do some checking) that would be NO_SENDMAIL="true" (I mean, really do some checking...) in /etc/make.conf > b) how do I get my messages into the appropriate spool / delivered? > Have you tried starting Exim? I guess that is where the error messages are coming from...
