You might try setting sendmail up with webmin, it's much more tractable 
and makes sure that things are consistent.   You can install webmin with 
'yum install webmin' I think.

Webmin uses your browser to communicate on port 10000 so after 
installation you can surf to <yourhostname>.<yourdomainname>.<your 
TLD>:10000 and log in as root.

I don't recommend editing sendmail.cf or any other sendmail files 
manually. It's a can of worms and it's easy to break sendmail that way.
