No.

Did you use linuxconf? I've had more sendmail.cf files destroyed by it
than I can count.
How long has it been up and running without shutting sendmail down and
restarting or rebooting the machine? It shouldn't matter, but it might.
Could you have been broken into and some changes to this as well as other
files have been made? Are there any other things that mysteriously
started working wrong or not working at all?
You can try using m4 again to see if it fixes it.
