Is there any particular reason you want the msp queue processing as a daemon?

On our mail hub I start up the normal daemon from rc.conf

 sendmail=YES            sendmail_flags="-Lsm-mta -bd -q15m"

and do the queue processing from cron

 15,35,55        *       *       *       *        /usr/sbin/sendmail -Ac -q
