That's funny.  I can see root in the E class even in the standard freebsd.cf
generated from the freebsd.mc file we have in src/etc/sendmail:

% gothmog:/etc/mail# cp /usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc .
% gothmog:/etc/mail# cp /usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.submit.mc .
% gothmog:/etc/mail# make freebsd.cf
% /usr/bin/m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/share/sendmail/cf/   /usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 freebsd.mc > freebsd.cf
% gothmog:/etc/mail# grep '{E}' freebsd.cf
% C{E}root

I must be doing something wrong.
