On the RedHat boxes here, there are two files, /etc/sendmail.cf where
you make your changes and /usr/lib/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4 which is
included at the start of /etc/sendmail.cf
/etc/sendmail.cf comes with the sendmail RPM but the cf.m4 file only
comes with the sendmail-cf RPM.

I treat the .cf file as a binary file. you should too.
