If your running slackware 9 and also the default sendmail config out of it
then use:

/usr/share/sendmail/cf/cf/sendmail-slackware.mc

This is the default sendmail configuration for slackware. You can change
to that directory and edit the file directly and then use make to generate
your cf file.

# cd /usr/share/sendmail/cf/cf
# vim sendmail-slackware.mc
# make sendmail-slackware.cf
# cp sendmail-slackware.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

You can replace vim with your favorite editor. Since it seems your new to
sendmail configuration I would like to point out the quoting above in the
mc directive. That is a back-quote followed by a normal quote `'. It will
make a difference

Again, hope this helps.
