Thanks guys. After reading /etc/defaults/rc.conf, I understood that
the reason there's sendmail listening on TCP25 is so that local
daemons can send e-mail to the admin.

Thanks for the tip, and sockstat:

# sockstat | grep 2000
root     asterisk   593   17 tcp4   *:2000                *:*
# sockstat | grep 2727
root     asterisk   593   10 udp4   *:2727                *:*
# sockstat | grep 514
root     syslogd    531   7  udp4   *:514                 *:*
# sockstat | grep 25
root     sendmail   676   3  tcp4   127.0.0.1:25          *:*
