Interesting, I just posted a question about this same problem. However,
I only noticed it after adding the following kernel options:
options IPSEC
options IPSEC_ESP
options IPSEC_DEBUG
When I boot from a kernel without these options, sendmail no-longer
hangs. With these options it hangs and I see the same thing you
do with truss.
