Three very good sources I know of for manual configuration of
sendmail.cf:
. SunOS 4.1.x "System and network administration"
. NeXT version of the same manual (it's called "Network and system
administration" ! ;-)
[Those two are a bit outdated since they deal with sendmail 5.*, but
they're VERY good introductions to sendmail rules IMO]
. O'Reilly book "Sendmail" ISBN 1-56592-056-2, 255 FF here and well
worth that !
You may also want to grab the sources from the latest sendmail
(8.7.*), it's always a very good idea to stay up to date... sendmail
has been so widely used as a front door for crackers... The source
come with a ./cf directory for automatic generation of sendmail.cf
files from a simple configuration file using m4 macros.
Bonne chance,

I've RTFMed. It says: "Refer to your system administrator"
But... I *am* the system administrator :-]
