I'm sorry to report that after spending a good while now in those
documents under Ch 1 About Mail Services and right on down the line
under that heading.  Including Chapter 3 mail Services (Reference)

I have yet to find much that is helpful in creating a sendmail.mc.  I
have not found a single example of a sendmail.mc in those docs.

There are piles of information about how to test, what to do once you
have a working sendmail.mc... but precious little about actually
creating one.  

Apparently it was felt the reader should already know the nuts and
bolts of creating sendmail.cf
