We use a minimal "leaf node" sendmail.cf at our site. The only header
munging is adding our domain if a domain is missing. The drawback:
We can't use rmail. Our (Ultrix 1.2) rmail insists on doing its own
header pre-munging. But luckily we don't need rmail if we don't use
bang paths. Indeed rmails only purpose is to patch bang paths in the 
header. We can do without and call sendmail directly (through a shell 
script preventing our uucp peers to call sendmail with switches).

Here comes our sendmail.cf. To save space, i deleted the options list.
I did include the complete rulesets and mailer definitions.
