FreeBSD server behind router-NAT; how to configure sendmail?

Hi, My ISP provides me with a fixed IP address and a registered hostname. I use a Sitecom DC-207 that serves as a plain router, NAT and 4-port switch, to connect three Windows PCs and one FreeBSD PC simultaneously to the internet. The router gets the fixed IP address, whereas my FreeBSD system

My main complaint with qmail is that it's not very standard. The core of qmail hasn't been updated in a couple years (I think that's right, correct me if I'm wrong), so in order to update it or add functionality, you have to apply a bunch of patches from a bunch of sources. I like the fact that p
