Default Sendmail recieve problems

Hello all,
I have a FreeBSD 9.0 configured as a multi-use server. I decided for fun and learning I would try to use the sendmail services that is offered, then when I get that going good I would add Dovecot and webmail services.
I can send with sendmail quite well to services such as Yahoo and Gmail, and was easy to setup. However I am confused on how to configure it to recieve e-mail.
This system is setup as a gate DNSMasq as well as IPFW running and two network cards. One card faces my local ISP, and the other faces my home network. I also have a subdomain from FreeDNS as well
I have tried to e-mail direct to my public IP address as well as my FreeDNS name, and I get nothing.
I have read about MX Records and all that, and that is when I get lost. I can't find a good example how to set it up with my type of setup, and I have no clue how to go about MX Records.

Could somebody toss some hints my way?

Thanks!
Dana
