It has been ages since I worked with Sendmail; however, I believe all
you have to do, after configuring the /etc/mail/*.mc files, is
run:

	make all install restart

in the /etc/mail directory. Be sure to read the documentation in each of
the *.mc files. If you have not all ready done so, check out the
aliases file and modify as required. Be sure to run 'newaliases' when
finished. If I remember correctly, the new *.cf files will be in the
form of "hostname.cf".

You could always use Postfix. It is a lot easier.

O give me a home,
Where the buffalo roam,
Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word,
'Cause what can an antelope say?
