Your examples are showing the handoff between untrusted local mail client using SMTP to localhost:25 to deliver the mail to the local spool, and not the communication from your machine to the next SMTP server.

Or is it just a bad install? It's unlikely to be a bad install. Try running: echo "3,0 cswiger@mac.com" | sendmail -bt ...on the Linux machine, and see whether the last line relays through your ISP's smarthost, or directly to smtp-mx.mac.com. Compare that to what the FreeBSD machine is doing. -- -Chuck
