Helpful information resources for sendmail

I recently discovered the following excellent resources when dealing with learning how to configure sendmail. These allowed me to solve a persistent error I was gettting whenever I sent email from Eudora via my local installation of smtp, which complained that the sender's domain could not be resolved. The solution was to modify sendmail.cf, but the sites which solved the problem for me were so interesting and the search so arduous, I thought I'd share them FWIW.
So here are my 3 links:
- If you get an error from smtp that states "Domain of sender does not resolve," or for any other reason sendmail is being too picky, then try to set a FEATURE according to this page at sendmail.org.
- How to set the FEATURE? Do it with the m4 stuff at macdevcenter.com.
- For some reason, I didn't have a config.mc file. If you don't have a config.mc file, the intro page at sendmail.org will help you create one.
[Editor's note: I haven't turned on my sendmail yet, but I figure these resources might be useful to those of you who are braver than I am!]
