I have my hostname in rc.conf defined as a FQDN - ending in a dot. IIRC it's needed to prevent sendmail waiting a long time for DNS if the network is unavailable at boot-time. I recently noticed that when I send myself email through sendmail I'm hitting this spamassassin test at my email service:

How does Sendmail know how it was invoked?

mailwrapper checks to see how it was invoked and then looks up the appropriate command in mailer.conf. All of the entries in mailer.conf point to /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail, so how does that binary know what it's supposed to do. I'm just curious. _
