First, sendmail.cf is marked read-only in most setups, so you'd have to 
chmod it to 666 or something like that to edit and save it.

Second, it's marked read-only for a reason!  You shouldn't be editing 
sendmail.cf directly.  You should be using the m4 macro files supplies by 
Verio to generate a new sendmail.cf.

I've got a shell script that automates much of this once you vinstall 
sendmail.  Let me know if you want it.

Cheers!
