So have other MTAs, including one for Postfix not so long ago.  Sendmail 
configuration can be charitably called "odd", but it's so widely used 
that answers can usually be found on google or groups.google.com.  Then 
there's comp.mail.sendmail, and sendmail.org, the bat book, and even 
sendmail.com.
