Our sendmail.mc is pretty simple and it contains only the basic directives
for defining the OS and the Local Delivery Agent. We are considering adding a
commented sendmail-gentoo.mc (or some official doc) in the future even if we
prefer to keep it very light, it's my personal opinion that all users should
read and understand the configuration before deploying an MTA.
Anyway that configuration works out of the box just fine, simply all the
advanced features and configuration tweaks are not specified.
If you copy the Fedora .mc file it should be able to generate a valid .cf
file for your gentoo box, be sure that all specified paths are valid. Don't
move the .cf file, all .cf files should be manually generated from the .mc
one with `m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf`.
Cheers
