Do I understand you right that you converted from qmail to Sendmail,
right?

Well, SMTPS is first offered by Sendmail release 8.13.0, before it was
only a FFR (for future release). As it is not compiled as FFR with the
Fedora Sendmail you can't use SMTPS with it.

But you can use STARTTLS which has the same intention and works good.
You need to create a certificate and adjust the sendmail.mc file. This
was already discussed here in length and I posted some links to
documentation. So what is your specific problem?
