sendmail is the godfather of email on the Internet? ;) it's scalable,
reliable, and currently handles the majority of all Internet email
traffic?

Well, if you screw around with the sendmail config file, you're not
doing it right. You should be doing the much easier thing which is m4
configurations that generate the configuration. (ie: treat sendmail's
configuration as a binary and don't edit it directly...)
It makes the vast majority of configurations simple while still allowing
the more advanced people to tweak pretty much everything they'd want
to. :)
