For a newbie, editing sendmail.cf is most definitely not recommended.
In fact, it will get you in trouble down the road if you make a change
to sendmail.mc (the recommended place to make changes) since your change
to sendmail.cf will be wiped out at the next sendmail restart - there's
a make in the sendmail startup script.
