Tomohito-san,
Sendmail is listening only to 'localhost:25' by default. This is
necessary for local email delivery, but it doesn't allow any
other host to connect to your SMTP port.
You can find more about the various sendmail-related options of
"rc.conf" files in the rc.sendmail manpage:
man rc.sendmail
Regards,
Giorgos
