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

I only need that if I want sendmail to be available from the outside 
right? I don't want sendmail to be "on" and listenting for SMTP 
connections. I only want it working enough to send the emails the CGI 
generates on the same box.

No idea. There isn't much in the way of docs for it.

Nope... but I'm considering it now. Although I don't know how to alter 
the cgi to work with postfix (its a compiled C program, and like I said, 
has almost no docs, so I'd have to root thru the source code to see how 
it decides what mail app to use... and I'm not very good with C yet)
