Or:
1) cd /etc/mail
2) make stop
3) make start
4) ps -ax | grep sendm and you should see something like:
1153 ?? Ss 0:14.88 sendmail: accepting connections (sendmail)
1156 ?? IWs 0:00.00 sendmail: Queue runner at 00:30:00 for /var/spool/client
15854 p6 S+ 0:00.01 grep sendm
This method uses the same scripts invoked at boot, and will
automatically read the various "sendmail_" variables out of rc.conf.
