For quite some time now, it has been strongly suggested that you DO NOT 
try to manually edit the .cf file.  You edit the something.mc file, and 
use the m4 macro processor to generate a .cf file.  FreeBSD comes with a 
Makefile in /etc/mail to simplify (or compplicate?) things.  Read the 
top of it for info.  Basically, it looks for "hostname.mc" in /etc/mail, 
and failing that uses freebsd.mc.  It spits out .cf files with the same 
prefix as the .mc file it used.  "make install" will write that file to 
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf which is the one the daemon really reads.
