Unless you have some pressing need I'd dump sendmail and go with
postfix. It claims to be more robust and less vulnerable to hacker
attacks. I was using the standard sendmail.cf files so it was a
drop-in replacement for me. I haven't done anything with my setup but
it looks like it's easier to configure and customize and can do more
things.
