If you compile the source straight from sendmail.org, you have to move
it. The filename before it's move is something like:

sendmail-8.8.6/src/obj.FreeBSD.2.2.2.i586/sendmail

(this is a relative path where sendmail-8.8.6 is the root directory for 
the unzipped/untarred sendmail distribution files). The actual path
depends or your release and architecture.

>From the sendmail-8.8.6/cf/README file:

Configuration files are contained in the subdirectory "cf", with a
suffix ".mc".  They must be run through "m4" to produce a ".cf" file.
You must pre-load "cf.m4":

        m4 ${CFDIR}/m4/cf.m4 config.mc > config.cf

where ${CFDIR} is the root of the cf directory and config.mc is the
name of your configuration file.

In your case, ${CFDIR} is probably sendmail-8.8.6/cf. Let's say, for
example, you unzipped/untarred sendmail.8.8.6.tgz in /home/bud. In that
case, from whatever directory you have you config.mc, issue the command:

m4 /home/bud/sendmail-8.8.6/cf/m4/cf.m4 config.mc > config.cf

The config.cf file is the one you'll eventually move to /etc/sendmail.cf.
HOWEVER, you'll really be wanting to read the file
sendmail-8.8.6/cf/README *before* you run the above command, since you'll
likely want to customize the config.mc for your individual needs before
generating the new .cf file.
