Thanks guys. After reading /etc/defaults/rc.conf, I understood that
the reason there's sendmail listening on TCP25 is so that local
daemons can send e-mail to the admin.

Thanks for the tip, and sockstat:

# sockstat | grep 2000
root asterisk 593 17 tcp4 *:2000 *:*
# sockstat | grep 2727
root asterisk 593 10 udp4 *:2727 *:*
# sockstat | grep 514
root syslogd 531 7 udp4 *:514 *:*
# sockstat | grep 25
root sendmail 676 3 tcp4 127.0.0.1:25 *:*
