In cf/README (funny name for a file, isn't it?):

+--------------------------------+
| TWEAKING CONFIGURATION OPTIONS |
+--------------------------------+
There are a large number of configuration options that don't normally
need to be changed. However, if you feel you need to tweak them, you
can define the following M4 variables. This list is shown in four
columns: the name you define, the default value for that definition,
the option or macro that is affected (either Ox for an option or Dx
for a macro), and a brief description. Greater detail of the semantics
can be found in the Installation and Operations Guide.

confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL DontBlameSendmail
[safe] Override sendmail's file
safety checks. This will definitely
compromise system security and should
not be used unless absolutely
necessary.
So, in your favourite *.mc file:
define(`confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL',`GroupReadableSASLFile')
and you should find in your sendmail.cf:
O DontBlameSendmail=GroupReadableSASLFile
As a real world example:
# grep lame /etc/sendmail.cf
O DontBlameSendmail=groupreadablesaslfile
(this is currently running on my system)

(it has nothing to do with daemon mode, file permission checks will
be performed even without -bd)

(it's not listed as a feature... see cf/README)

(of course not, the m4 variable name is confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL)

(close, just the missing O... the preferred way should be the define above)
