   The sendmail.cf which comes with 386BSD doesn't support internet mail

   I can therefore recieve mail, but not send..

   I'm a bit of a newbie here, can someone point me in the right direction ?!

The distribution contains a set of m4 macros which make sendmail.cf
maintenance much easier.  See /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/README
for a general description.

/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf/id.mc is an example
meta-configuration file.  Set your mail relay host, domain name, etc
and then invoke 'make id.cf'.  It will process the .mc file to create
a configuration file.  uid.mc is an example of a configuration for
mail over a uucp link.  Rich
