Greg Read sendmail portion of afterboot, read quite a bit of the /usr/share/sendmail/README, studied the files in /etc/mail/, did some googling, & finally wound up removing the localhost.cf portion from the sendmail line in /etc/rc.conf, replaced it with sendmail.cf, & restarted sendmail. Now the user on the FreeBSD box can use `mail localuser-address` to send messages to this OpenBSD box, but still can't send messages back to the user by the same method.

Okay, thanks for the advice. I've already checked the README and
must've missed the default accept policy part. Checked the other
reference and saw it immediately. I'll try to figure out how to
do it. I've fooled around with sendmail on a FreeBSD box when I
was installing a virus program for checking email. It is, in fact,
the box that's trying to send the messages to this one, which is
running OpenBSD current with the sendmail default install. Thanks
for the pointers. Putting dmesg below in case needed. And the
FreeBSD box is still using default sendmail install too.
