Complain to sendmail.org because the configuration is too
complicated. Then again, if Fedora shipped Postfix instead of
Sendmail as the default mail server, it would be easier to build a
GUI to configure it.

The problem is not the config file that is supplied - it works fine
for what it intended for. The problem is that Sendmail is too
complicated to configure, and should be replaced with something like
Postfix that is not as complicated. There is a reason that there are
books dedicated just to configuring Sendmail.
