I've successfully upgraded a few test boxen and happy so far with them, so I'm 
preparing to upgrade production boxen shortly. Just a quick question which hopefully 
saves me some time in the future.

In the past I started to make changed to my sendmail setups by editing the sendmail.mc 
file and doing a "make" to generate the new sendmail.cf - however, past a point I had 
to make changes to the sendmail.cf file directly as further upgrades via yum made 
changes directly to the .cf file and provided no new sendmail.mc file for me to "make" 
a fresh .cf file with the updates included.

So my question is, on an ongoing basis should I expect updates to be made directly to 
the sendmail.cf file and totally abandon the sendmail.mc + make route? Or do we know / 
have any assurances that changes will be propagated via an updated sendmail.mc file 
which we can edit and "make"?

Any insight appreciated.
