I have sendmail_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" in my rc.conf, but when I boot, I get the error Feb 6 19:16:31 Yggdrasil sm-msp-queue[415]: My unqualified host name (Yggdrasil) unknown; sleeping for retry (My /etc/hosts file has 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 Yggdrasil which made my computer happy in 4-stable.
