The error says something about a nonexisting user smmsp. That user is needed
for Sendmail.

I've got this in my /etc/passwd and /etc/group:

/etc/passwd:
smmsp:*:25:25:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
mailnull:*:26:26:Sendmail Default User:/var/spool/mqueue:/sbin/nologin

/etc/group
smmsp:*:25:
mailnull:*:26:

The new users for Sendmail are not mentioned in /usr/src/UPDATING. You're
not the first one with this problem.

There's a discussion going on the freebsd-stable mailinglist about this.

You are probably not subscribed to it, so you may check the archive at
Google.

So, all you need is to add the users, and start installworld again.
