If you have a remote SMTP host available to you, then, in sendmail.cf:

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSyour.smtp.host

Then, start sendmail with just:

sendmail_flags="-q4h"

in /etc/rc.conf, or whatever time interval you prefer. There's no need
to have sendmail running as a daemon all the time. (For things such as
fetchmail, I use procmail as the mta.)
