Or you can do the quick & easy thing (ie. what I did here) and go to another 
system that you know is running 386bsd (via ftp), do a cd /etc, and finally 
a get sendmail.cf.

All I did after that was edit all the internet/bitnet/csnet/etc... 
addresses, save it, & do the voodooyoodoo for sendmail (sendmail -bz).

All I know is that it works now!
