I feel vindicated for advising people to exorcise linuxconf from their
machines. I'm sure Suresh also feels the same. :-)

lol - tried rpm -e linuxconf? Or whatever package manager your system
uses?
Anyway, you can do (these are on RedHat, YMMV):
cd /usr/lib/sendmail-cf/cf
m4 redhat.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
/sbin/service sendmail restart
or copy over the redhat.cf file in that directory to /etc/sendmail.cf
to restore the installation time settings. Don't use linuxconf to tweak
sendmail - manually edit the cf file (or, edit the mc file and run m4 on
it - much simpler). Then use the default mda of fetchmail.
