The archives are probably not going to be a big help on this
specific problem. You will need to  install the Sendmail
configuration package, and then edit sendmail.cf, and generate a new
sendmail.cf file. I am not sure where this option would be found,
and it probably will not listed in the default config file. You may
have better luck on the sendmail mailing list or forum.
