I googled "freebsd > sendmail local delivery" but got way too many hits.
coincidentally am working on a document about setting up e-mail on a FreeBSD workstation. Currently, it's in the state of being reviewed, but it should be quite usable yet. I plan to submit it to the documentation project in order to make it part of the FreeBSD article collection. For now, you can find it here: http://home.leo.org/~barner/freebsd/articles/mailsetup/article.html If you decide to use this document as guide to set up your mail system, please give me some feedback.
