Well, I am using the services of hub.org... Marc, who runs the show, is
super helpful. Plus, being a virtual machine I get full freedom, which
is not always desirable ;-)

Anyhow, fwiw, here's the /etc/rc.conf on this particular virtual
server, maybe it is just a setting I need to set here, but which...
never had to deal with these network details before:

 > cat /etc/rc.conf
sshd_enable="YES"
portmap_enable="NO"
network_interfaces=""
inetd_enable="NO"
inetd_flags="-wW -a 200.46.208.89"
clear_tmp_enable="YES"  # Clear /tmp at startup.

sendmail_enable="YES"
sendmail_flags="-bd"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"

tcp_keepalive="NO"
blanktime="NO"

cyrus_imapd_enable="YES"

apache_enable="YES"
apache_flags=""
