This is apparently due to a network interface not being ready in time in combination with a not-FQDN hostname. With a hostname of "lightning" (no domain), re0 configured by DHCP, and verbose sendmail logging: 050 WARNING: interface re0 is UP with 0.0.0.0 address 050 WARNING: local host name (lightning) is not qualified; see cf/README: WHO AM I A restart of sendmail after startup works normally because re0 has acquired an address by then. Entering a FQDN as hostname (hostname="lightning.wonkity.com") in rc.conf works also. I would say that this is really a problem with re0 and not with sendmail startup, but don't really know. re0 does a DOWN/UP three times on startup. re0: port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xfdfff000-0xfdffffff,0xfdfe0000-0xfdfeffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci4 re0@pci0:4:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x514c1462 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor' device = 'Gigabit Ethernet NIC(NDIS 6.0) (RTL8168/8111)' class = network subclass = ethernet -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
