It was good - but since m4 macro based config became available, the good folks
at sendmail.org recommend _not_ touching the .cf file at all. It might sound
31337 to hack a cf file, but maintaining it across versions is going to become
very painful that way. So that article is outdated right now, as are the
versions of sendmail it was meant for.
http://www.sendmail.org/faq/ has lots of good stuff. Then there are excellent
howtos at http://www.sendmail.net (and the comp.mail.sendmail archives)
There's also my http://www.hserus.net/sendmail.html in case you are on a dialup
(there's a few added extras there like turning off dns lookups when you pass
mail to a smarthost for delivery).
