You need to run a sendmail MSP process in the jail, and modify the
configuration so that it submits the message to your main server
(presumably in your host environment, although it could live in
another jail) via it's external IP address.
Try this, in the jail:
# cd /etc/mail
# cp freebsd.submit.mc submit.mc
# vi submit.mc
here, change the last line from
FEATURE(`msp', `[127.0.0.1]')dnl
to
FEATURE(`msp', `[smtp.example.com]', `MSA')dnl
Obviously, you want to replace 'smtp.example.com' with the hostname of
your mailserver -- or it's IP address. You need the [square brackets]
as they stop sendmail trying to look up MXes in the DNS and instead
deliver straight to the named machine. Now rebuild the .cf and
install it:
# make
# make install
In /etc/rc.conf in the jail set the following so that only the
sendmail MSP process gets started:
sendmail_enable=NO
sendmail_msp_queue_enable=YES
sendmail_outbound_enable=NO
sendmail_submit_enable=NO
and you can start sendmail up from within /etc/mail by:
# make restart
Oh, and make sure port 587 on the mail server isn't firewalled off
from the jail environment...
The problem is that the loopback interface isn't really shared between
jail and host environment -- a daemon listening on 127.0.0.1 in the
host won't pick up connections to 127.0.0.1 in the jail, which is
exactly how the MSP tries to communicate with the MTA process.
