Configuring sendmail is quite a chore. I'll leave it to others to
offer advise on appropriate settings, but will point out that the
sendmail rpm alone is not enough to reconfigure sendmail
(i.e. generate a new /etc/sendmail.cf) You also need the sendmail-cf
package, which will add sereral files including
/usr/lib/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4 to your system.

Those aren't really files under /proc. The kernel maintains a
"procfs" there which provides lots of useful info about the system and
running processes. Read proc.txt in the Documentation directory of
your kernel source tree for the full scoop.

Dirty way? I seem to recall finding helpful pages at sendmail.org,
but should again defer to the more experienced on the list.
