As far as where your config files are, look for 'em in /etc/mail (on most distributions). If they're not there, grab a big ol cup of coffee, pull up your distribution's manual and start reading away. You'll have to do the latter anyways I'm sure, because enabling sendmail to relay to x server is not fun by any means.
