I am running SUSE 10.0 and I couldn't find a sendmail.XX anywhere on my 
system. I did find /etc/postfix/main.cf with lots of entries for 
domains and hosts...

and I found this ( although it is for SUSE 8.0):

5.3.2.1 -- Where is the sendmail.mc file on SuSE Linux?
Date: May 5, 2002

On SuSE Linux systems there is no real sendmail.mc file. This file is 
generated 'on the fly' by SuSEconfig using several variables 
in /etc/rc.config and /etc/rc.config.d/sendmail.rc.config (SuSE <= 
7.3) or /etc/sysconfig/sendmail (SuSE >= 8.0).

SuSEconfig executes the script /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.sendmail to a) 
build a temorary .mc file b) execute m4 to generate /etc/sendmail.cf 
and c) delete the temporary .mc file afterwards.
