You're supposed to generate it from an "m4" file. See
"/usr/share/sendmail/README". The system installed default
m4 file is "/usr/share/sendmail/cf/netbsd-proto.mc". There are
whole volumes to be found on configuring sendmail, but you can
get far with just the README and the NetBSD template.

You're not kidding. You'd think that would be a FAQ.
