This is where the problem lies.

You have only enabled mail submission through a network connection to
port 25, but not submission of mail from local users.  I suggest that
you read at least /etc/mail/README and the rc.sendmail(8) manpage.

Look at the description of sendmail_submit_enable in rc.sendmail(8)
and in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
