Sendmail only needs the open port for mail comming to your machine (I
think).
For outgoing mail it does not need a open port.
So you could disable sendmail going into listening mode.
(Look at the rc.* scripts for that).
Only leaves you with the problem of incomming email... you could
use pop for that I guess.
Have fun,
Frans.
