This is a very frustrating thread.
RH has documentation about this...
<http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/ref-guide/s1-email-mta
.html>
specifically, 'make -C /etc/mail' is the command - which you still
didn't verify. This command may actually fail to make a new sendmail.cf
if you have botched the m4 command in the past. To remove all doubt, you
should make your changes - as indicated in the link above and then as
per the link above...
'm4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf'
also, as indicated in the link above, you need to have your domain
name(s) in /etc/mail/local-host-names in order to accept mail for your
domain.
also, you need to make sure that there is no firewall blocking access to
port 25 - you can test this easily enough, 'service iptables stop' - if
that is the problem, then you need to fix it.
also, you will need to install some type of imap/pop3 server daemon and
configure it typically via xinetd to allow other machines to access the
email received.
