I agree that it is difficult to find simple instructions for sendmail.
There is a section in the Redhat-9 Reference Guide which is quite good, IMO.
I assume this is available online somewhere.
The RPM I have (from the RH-9 distribution) is
rhl-rg-en-9-3.noarch.rpm .
In fact the Redhat-9 guides are all pretty good.
It would be a great idea to update them for Fedora,
if that were allowed.
Basically you have to make or find a sendmail.mc file,
and process it with m4 to make sendmail.cf .
The problem is that most sendmail.mc examples that I have seen
seem to be for people running large systems with hundreds of users.
(This is true of a lot of Linux documentation.)
I suspect that there are only 2 or 3 different configurations
actually required for the home user,
so it should really be simple to set up.
Maybe googling for "sendmail.mc example" would be worthwhile.
