The 8.8 config is in /etc/sendmail.cf. The new file for 8.9 is in
/lpp/save.config/etc/sendmail.cf.new. Rename /etc/sendmail.cf so you
can keep the previous settings, copy the 8.9 file to /etc/sendmail.cf,
make changes to make you previous settings. You will also need your
domain name (with a "." after it) as an alias in /etc/hosts file for
the service ip address. Try sending a test file with verbose setting
to see your errors.
