You used to have to sometimes, but the newer sendmail versions make a point of have all configuration in the .mc file... The largest problem with generating a .cf, and then editing it, is that you can't ever rebuild it later safely. If you keep all of your config in your .mc file, then you are assured that you can always generate your current working config if necessary. In addition, after you upgrade sendmail versions, you can simply regenerate the sendmail.cf and take advantage of any bug fixes or improvements in the sendmail.cf macros that may have been added since you last generated your config. Of course, if you're the only person who's ever editing your config, you can do whatever you want, but if you've got multiple admins managing your sendmail installations, hand editing the .cf is a shooting offense. M, who is starting to use postfix now.
