Those of us who've been using Sendmail for ten years or more have been modifying sendmail.cf for many years. Cobalt modifies sendmail.cf, too, as you can see with this command on a RaQ4:
Sendmail recommends that you generate a sendmail.cf using m4 instead of editing the sendmail.cf. It is then easier to upgrade your sendmail version as you can generate a new sendmail.cf instead of having to figure out what hacks have been implemented over the years.
In fact, I'd bet that when Cobalt modifies sendmail.cf through an upgrade they don't bother to fix the underlying M4 files. Am I wrong?
The Cobalt UI modifies the sendmail.cf instead of using m4 to generate a new cf. That makes it difficult to customize sendmail or implement new features.
