Make sure you've installed the sendmail-cf rpm.
Then cd /etc
cut and paste the following into a new file called new.mc in that directory.
Then follow the instructions below.
divert(-1)
dnl This is the macro config file used to generate the /etc/sendmail.cf
dnl file. If you modify the file you will have to regenerate the
dnl /etc/sendmail.cf by running this macro config through the m4
dnl preprocessor:
dnl
dnl m4 /etc/new.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf
dnl
dnl You will need to have the sendmail-cf package installed for this to
dnl work.
include(`/usr/lib/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4')
define(`confDEF_USER_ID',``8:12'')dnl
define(`SMART_HOST', `your.isps.mta')dnl
dnl Note that the line above has to be configured right for this to work.
dnl Put the name of your ISP's mail server where it says your.isps.mta.
