I receive this error, 

root....connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay
root....Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

What files do I need to modify under /etc/mail?

Marc,

I have attached working sendmail.mc <http://sendmail.mc> and
sendmail.cf<http://sendmail.cf>files along with /etc/rc.conf startup.
There are a number of things in the
rc.conf that you don't need just use the sendmail portion for examples.
BTW
/etc/defaults/rc.conf show examples and are used if /etc/rc.conf does
not
exist. /etc/rc.conf will override /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

The first thing is to get a working copy of sendmail running. Make
your
edits to /etc/rc.conf with the examples sent.

Copy sendmail.cf <http://sendmail.cf> /etc/mail

Verify no sendmail processes are running and if they are kill the pid
of
them. Verify again they are gone.

Run "sh /etc/rc.sendmail start" . No quotes. This should start
sendmail.
Send your self a test message from the MTA level -

sendmail -v root </dev/null Enter(the enter key)

This should send a test mesage to root with no subject and undisclosed
recipients. Thats fine all we want to know is if sendmail is running.
Its
also a good test to check the header files.

If its working thats great, move on to MailScanner. I've included a
working
copy of a mailscanner.conf file. There are some things configured that
you
might not be using, but all the directores are in place and are set to
defaults.

Virus scanners set to none if not using (I'm using three)
Spamassassin set to no if not using (I'm using 3.1.0_3)
Uncomment the whitlist and blacklist file rules, I'm using
SQLblacklist/whitelists

I've included another file called directories.needed. Just run, it
will
create them if they don't exist

This should be enough to get you going. Remember you need to get
sendmail
running first. I didn't or never have used the Makefile included with
the
distribution. I use the m4 macro on the configuration file *.mc or just
use
webmin. Its in the ports or can be downloaded from
webmin.com<http://webmin.com>
.

It does not make sense to me why sendmail is running if it is marked
to
"NONE". If that dosen't do it mark the first instance with NONE and all
the
others with NO

BTW: There is also a nice webmin modual for MailScanner. Once setup
things
don't change much other then whitelists/blacklists. The latest version
of
mailwatch can do this hence

Is Definitely Not Spam = &SQLWhitelist
Is Definitely Spam = &SQLBlacklist


Hang on for the ride...
