Sorry but I don't have it on me at the moment.  If you installed from source
you can recreate a config file by this:

#!/bin/sh

cd /SOMEDIR/sendmail-8.11.0/cf/cf/
m4 /SOMEDIR/sendmail-8.11.0/cf/m4/cf.m4 config.mc > config.cf
cp /etc/mail/sendmail.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.back
cp ./config.cf /etc/mail/config.cf
exit()

Where SOMEDIR is wherever you untared the sendmail source at (probably your
home directory or /tmp)

http://www.sendmail.org/m4/intro.html

What are you having problems configuring?

Also did you get your connection problem worked out?  I don't think your
sendmail.cf file has any relation to your telnet connection refused to port
25. Look in "/etc/inetd.conf" does sendmail have something like
"/usr/sbin/tcpd" in that line?  If so, it is going to be a tcpwrappers
problem.
