sendmail in the base system will start the queue runner, but if you want to 
change the run interval you will have to do this by setting options in 
/etc/rc.conf:

sendmail_msp_queue_flags="-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q5m"    # Flags for 
sendmail_msp_queue daemon.

Take a look in /etc/defaults/rc.conf for all available flags.


(I would recommend a somewhat more recent FreeBSD, i.e. 4.11)
