Get sendmail 8.6.12 from ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/sendmail and
compile it under FreeBSD it's pretty simple then follow the README
file in the ../sendmail/cf directory to use the new m4 configuration
tools and use the MAILER_TABLE feature.

This is alot simpler then editing the sendmail.cf file and you get the
bonus of running an up to date sendmail daemon too.
