Hmmm... The point with the DAEMON_OPTIONS stuff is to make sendmail
bind to just the IP numbers for the host system and not to the
jails. What do you get from running:
% sockstat | grep sendmail
I've got a jailed setup much like the one you want to set up, and I get:
% sockstat | grep sendmail
root sendmail 17330 4 tcp4 81.2.69.218:25 *:*
root sendmail 17330 5 tcp4 127.0.0.1:25 *:*
root sendmail 17330 6 tcp4 81.2.69.218:587 *:*
root sendmail 17330 7 tcp4 127.0.0.1:587 *:*
root sendmail 17330 8 tcp6 ::1:25 *:*
smmsp sendmail 62897 3 dgram syslogd[62885]:3
root sendmail 17330 3 dgram syslogd[98]:3
smmsp sendmail 17329 3 dgram syslogd[98]:3
Where PID 62897 is the sendmail MSP queue runner in the jail. Note
that in this setup, nothing binds to and listens on any network ports
=66rom within the jail.

Hmmm... I also have:
define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `smtp.infracaninophile.co.uk')dnl
in my .mc file: that may stop sendmail trying to reverse lookup all
it's interfaces in an attempt to work out what its FQDN is. =20

That can be because sendmail finds itself unexpectedly receiving the
message it thinks it is sending off to the next hop for further
processing. It usually means that the /etc/mail/local_host_names file
needs to be adjusted, but that may not be the case here.

Well, it works for me. I'd be interested to find out if the
confDOMAIN_NAME thing is significant. If so, then it seems that I
must have lucked out to have stumbled on that accidentally.
