Configuration files are silently replaced during an upgrade if they
haven't been changed locally. If they have been changed, they are left
alone and the new config file from the package is stored with a .rpmnew
suffix[0].
So, if you have a sendmail.cf.rpmnew, but no sendmail.mc.rpmnew, it is
most probably the case that you changed the sendmail.cf, but not the
sendmail.mc. Maybe you just rebuilt the .cf file at one time (it
contains a a line which looks like a timestamp, so it would appear to be
changed even if the "real" content was the same).

[0] Or sometimes, they are replaced and your file is renamed to
.rpmsave. I still haven't figured out when that happens.
