Have you tried using the "sendmailconfig" included in the Debian sendmail
package? It generates configuration files for several very common
situations.

Another option could be to use a different Mail Transfer Agent (MTA). While
sendmail is used very often and is quite powerful, it is also notoriously
difficult to configure. Most (all?) of the other Debian MTA packages (e.g.
exim, smail) have a similar script and have configuration files that are
usually considered easier to write or change.
