I haven't used FEATURE(`msp') before, but you'll need to enable the last
three lines above. By default, FreeBSD should be configured properly if
you don't include _any_ of the above lines in your /etc/rc.conf at all.
Grep for 'sendmail' in /etc/defaults/rc.conf and you'll see what is already
configured.

On a new system, all you should have to do to set up mail is (if in single
user mode you have to set hostname first):

cd /etc/mail
make
edit your.host.name.submit.mc 
make install
make start

If you are running 'make' on a running system after editing
freebsd.submit.mc you won't actually be installing the right file....
