sendmail was ignoring existing aliases on startup. 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.
