You can really do no harm to copy over the sendmail.mc file from Fedora Core1, I would not advise you to copy over the sendmail.cf file. You can create the cf file from the mc file using the m4 macros. Eric Allman who wrote sendmail, has done a wonderful job of making sendmail easy to configure by making changes to the mc file which then will build the cf file. First make a copy of the original mc file and then copy over the Fedora mc file and just build the new cf file. You can then stop and start sendmail and see how it works. You can also install webmin which gives you a nice graphical interface which will allow you to modify sendmail for what you need. emerge webmin
If you have not already done so you need to install m4: emerge m4
For all the options to sendmail, visit: http://www.sendmail.org There is some great documentation and help files.
