The NetBSD has a guide that is basically a sendmail configuration walk-through, suitable for a dial-up user, which needs minor modifications for Linux: http://www.netbsd.org/guide/en/chap-mail.html Here's my sendmail configuration file. It's a bit of a mess; it's behind a firewall, and mostly exists to deliver my outbound mail and so that fetchmail can deliver mail locally, so I've never really "cleaned it up" and pruned it down to what's essential. It's picked up some cruft being hastily ported across 4 or more operating systems and once having been exposed to the Internet (hey, it's a hobby). It's based on the file in the NetBSD guide, and I provide it only as a rough outline of what you might want to do.
