Read the Makefile a bit closer... All you need to do is type:
make install
and the newly created .cf files will be renamed ready for use. Then
type:
make restart
and sendmail will be restarted using your new files.

Generally yes. Note that mergemaster will build new .cf files from
your .mc files and prompt you to install them appropriately.

PS. Does your `hostname' command really return
'jeff@jrpenn.demon.co.uk'? That's a bit weird. You might find
changing that to just 'jrpenn.demon.co.uk' will increase your sanity
quotient a bit.
