What are the permissions and ownership on your */spool/mqueue directory?
The only places I can think output would be created is in the outgoing
mqueue.  I'm not up to speed with sendmail on FreeBSD, but if it defaults
to using smrsh, you need to make sure your link to majordomo's wrapper is
in the right location too.  Is it possible your partition was full?  What
about /tmp?
