If you choose to go with sendmail, you should use the base-system's. It's pretty up to date with critical patches and the like. I personally prefer Postfix, which is also used by the mail-servers at FreeBSD.org. The UCE blocking support offered by it is pretty good, and configuration is straightforward. You don't even need to remove the base-system's MTA, just tweak rc.conf and mailer.conf and you're up and away.
