This actually exactly parallels the situation for FreeBSD committers who want to use the FreeBSD mail infrastructure to send messages from their @FreeBSD.org accounts. Funnily enough there's an e-mail conversation going on about this very thing right now, which has lead to this new section in the Committer's Guide: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/con= ventions.html#smtp-setup However that only contains instructions for use with Postfix so far, but watch that space as it is entirely possible that sendmail and/or exim instructions will be added in the relatively near future. Although, personally, I'd recommend ditching sendmail and installing postfix instead.
