I really don't want sendmail anyway so I will definitly try your suggestion. I have a dialup account and my freebsd box gets it's ip/dns info via dhcp from the router. It looks like I'll have to setup dns locally then so it works whether I'm connected online or not and see if that works.

The initial bootup right after On the chance that you really don't want sendmail (if only to run a different MTA such as exim, postfix or qmail), you have to set two values in rc.conf: sendmail_enable="NO" mta_start_script="" It's the latter one that tripped me up. But anyway, you do need functional DNS.
