[Andy Pyles <andy_(_dot_)_pyles_(_at_)_3do_(_dot_)_com>]

out of curiosity any reason why openbsd doesn't by default include
sendmail.cw ?

OpenBSD has excellent manual pages and a nice FAQ.
Read:
rc.conf
sendmail

Optionally:
mailwrapper man page
mail.local man page
Anything from Oreilly
UNIX for Dummies (may not be a bad idea for you!)

Or, since you dont care to read:
/bin/ed /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
/bin/ed /etc/rc.conf
Be sure not to make backups first ;)

And telnet probably isnt a good idea.  Turn it off.

Or even better, save yourself the trouble and RTFM.
This isnt a list for general unix questions.
