I did substitute sendmail by DragonFly Mail Agent in mail/dma some time ago. It runs at the host and in all those jails not running postfix. Easy setup [1], fine replacement of sendmail.

[1] in my case it's a two line config (your milage my vary) with 10.1.2.3 running my postfix MTA:

	# Your smarthost (also called relayhost).
	SMARTHOST 10.1.2.3
	# The internet hostname dma uses to identify the host.
	MAILNAME kaan-bock.net
