I just had a similar problem with a couple of my machines.

Try changing the 'search' line in resolv.conf to a "local domain name."

For instance, my /etc/resolv.conf file is like this:

search localdomain.net
nameserver ?.?.?.? (real dns servers)
nameserver ?.?.?.?

And my /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain.net
192.168.19.1 gateway gateway.localdomain.net
..

sendmail_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf

My big problem was my isp's DHCP server was assigning me a domain-name which would 
change my resolv.conf file.  To solve that I had to add a supersede line in 
dhclient.conf.
