Believe the Cobalt GUI uses the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.master as its 
"starting" point when making any changes.  I make a habit of backing up the 
cf file, making my changes, then copying that file (sendmail.cf) to 
sendmail.cf.master and have not had any problems with the GUI overwritting 
anything (knock on wood)...  Just as FYI, I use <filename>YYMMDD as my backup 
method so that yesterdays file would be sendmail.cf.030827 so I can always 
get an idea of not just what it is, but approximately when...
