Please try to reproduce it with only one Apache process (httpd -X) and
if yes - get a GDB backtrace of the place where it freezes.

When I attempt to use the sendmail binary directly, I
have no problems:
$ /usr/local/sbin/sendmail -t -i -v -X /tmp/sendmail.log
myrealemail@mac.com
To: myrealemail@mac.com
From: someemail@bzflag.bz
Subject: this is a test...
testing.
[CTRL-d]
The message is successfully delivered both with and
without the above shown header provided. Looking at the
-X debug logs, the difference running the command
directly versus what I'm seeing when php runs is a lack
of the EOF, shown below as follows:
From PHP:
70503 <<< To: myrealemail@mac.com
70503 <<< Subject: Hi!
70503 <<<
70503 <<< Hi,
70503 <<<
76330 <<< To: myrealemail@mac.com
76330 <<< Subject: Hi!
76330 <<<
76330 <<< Hi,
76330 <<<
76330 <<< How are you?
(Notice the lack of an EOF, it hangs)
Directly on the command line:
40466 <<< From: web@bzflag.bz
40466 <<< To: myrealemail@mac.com
40466 <<< Subject: testing
40466 <<<
40466 <<< testing2
40466 <<< [EOF]
40466 >>> myrealemail@mac.com... Connecting to
[127.0.0.1] via relay...
40466 === CONNECT [127.0.0.1]

I suspect it has nothing to do with PHP and everything to do
with the sendmail binary. It maybe hanging waiting for data,
try to test the sendmail binary to see if it can be used to
send e-mail.

Description:
------------
Using a default install of mod_php5 on FreeBSD, installed
via an up-to-date ports, web pages calling mail() hang
indefintely. This ends up hanging the associated apache
process until it is manually killed. I can send mail fine
from mail clients on the host, from mod_perl, by telnetting
to port 25, just apparently not from mod_php5.
I've tested using the default php.ini mail settings as well
as setting sendmail_path explicitly with different debug
options (e.g. /usr/local/sbin/sendmail -t -i -v -X /tmp/
sendmail.log). Sendmail does log that a connection is
established and the e-mail is written to the log, but it
never closes the connection and only aborts when apache is
killed.
This bug seems very familiar with php bug 22947 yet I'm not
on Windows so perhaps just coincidence.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$to = "myrealemail@mac.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hello?";
echo("<p>sending mail</p>");
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
}
?>
