I'm surprised you didn't also find this there 'bout:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Modifier=A')dnl
That'll stop sendmail from advertising Authentication...
You'll find that in /usr/share/doc/sendmail-doc/op.txt.gz (and partially
in cf.README.gz).

Not a bad idea - wanna send a draft ?

Why force smtp? The default should be relay...

Since that's the default name, it'd be better to simply say:
FEATURE(`virtusertable')dnl
That way, if options are later added (as happened recently for
access_db), you'll not have to re-do the line...

Hope this isn't on the internet... You'll be accepting alot of spam
this way, by default, sendmail issues a 4xx responce to temporary dns
failures - that'll just slightly delay mail from misconfigured sites.

Why so short, or is your average queue run that short ?

Now the default (since 8.10.0)
