Any pointers short of trying to wade thru the *choke* sendmail configuration file?

You might try setting sendmail up with webmin, it's much more tractable and makes sure that things are consistent. You can install webmin with 'yum install webmin' I think.

Webmin uses your browser to communicate on port 10000 so after installation you can surf to <yourhostname>.<yourdomainname>.<your TLD>:10000 and log in as root.

I don't recommend editing sendmail.cf or any other sendmail files manually. It's a can of worms and it's easy to break sendmail that way.

I know that the sendmail.cf is a can of worms. That's why I said

"....short of trying to wade thru the *choke* sendmail configuration file?"

In any event, the problem corrected itself with no action on my part. Do I understand that? No!
