1) Do you have sendmail=YES in /etc/rc.conf?

2) Is there some error/backup processing in the CGI that will do the 
right thing if sendmail is down?

3) Have you considered using postfix (postfix=YES in /etc/rc.conf)? 
It's marginally faster and has generally the same external 
interfaces.  It would probably "just work" if you turned it on 
instead.
