No you don't need to pull down source code and you shouldn't have to read the sendmail.cf.
You HAVE a source for your sendmail.cf (treat it as a binary). The m4 file that generated your cf file is there already. As is often the case, the information about your system is virtually non-existant, so I'll presume you're running OpenBSD on a Vax (why the hell not?). The top of your sendmail.cf will show that it was generated from a file under /usr/share/sendmail/cf/. As far as relaying, what you do depends on where you are: if it's a known LAN under your control, you can just add it to the sendmail access map. If it's from arbitrary IP addresses on the net, look into SMTP-AUTH (best) or authB4smtp (aka popB4smtp). Webmin might help you configure sendmail, to a point. Sendmail.com offers a full blown management and monitoring product around their MTA (but doesn't support your OpenBSD/VAX platform).
