This Discussion on Nabble explains how to stop the "My unqualified host name" error on FreeBSD installations. This will happen by default if you're setting up a FreeBSD machine you don't give a fully qualified hostname at installation time, e.g. mycomputer.google.com. To fix, edit /etc/rc.conf and add this line:
sendmail_enable="NONE"
Updated (better) option #2
This FreeBSD mailing list message mentions being able to change your hostname by editing the hostname value in the same file. Looking at /etc/hosts, it occurred to me the problem may simply be that I picked the wrong name (netbook) for my machine not intended to be out on the internet by itself. Changing /etc/rc.conf's hostname line to read:
hostname="localhost"
allowed me to clear the error message without turning off SendMail.
