I've removed all the antispam rules from FreeBSD default freebsd.mc
file, also I've modified the .../cf/mailer/smtp.m4 file and added e flag
to all mailer types, then specified the HoldExpensive to True. Still no
difference. I've got one document from internet saying that sendmail
does anyway some lookups at initial startup, even before reading
configuration file. I better don't guess is it true or whatever. Before
giving up I send mail to sendmail-questions list. It's a fact that such
configuration worked very well about a year ago.

Thanks to all
