I have not tested this out.  I switched to postfix.
You can find similar stuff for postfix in their faq.

Postfix... my sendmail configuration seems to be in a directory called 
postfix.  I am running RedHat 8.0 for the mail server... for now... soon to 
be upgraded to FC2.

I'm utterly tired and confused by this thing.  Teach me oh teacher...
