Hi,

Do yourself a favour: 

1. Download sendmail-8.9.1 (or the latest).
2. Untar it
3. cd sendmail-*1/src
4. ./Build [Enter]
5. ./makesendmail install
6. cd ../cf/cf
7. study ../README and learn to update the bsd-generic4.4.mc file and then
type make bsd-generic4.4.cf and then cp bsd-generic4.4.cf /etc/sendmail.cf

...learn the cf file method...it's way better...it'll cost you 30-40
minutes of reading...instant payoff...almost every feature you'd EVER want
is there...

Take care,
Randy Katz

BTW, my bsd-generic4.4.mc file looks like:
