OpenBSD doesn't suport this directly, you would need some kind of
proxy that converts dns requests to mdns. Untested but they do
exist (https://github.com/hardillb/dns-to-mdns,
https://github.com/wisq/mdns-proxy).

I guess that sendmail is probably doing DNS lookups directly rather
than hostname lookups so probably not converted to MDNS.
