Only one way to find out... (re: sendmail.cf files)

Check the modification times on them. One might even be a symlink to the 
other.  Mine's in /etc/mail on all my mail servers.  However, I dont' know 
where RPM's put them... somewhere wacky I suspect.

Otherwise, just rename one and try to restart sendmail. If it works, it's 
using the other. If it breaks, you found the one it uses.

(re: rbl implemneted, but spam still received)

As well:  not all SPAM comes from Open Relays. Some don't.  I have it 
running on my home server, and I still get SPAM.  Not as much, I notice, 
but still, I get spam. For the rest, use spamassassin.  My primary work 
mail server doesn't run a rbl yet, and spamassassin takes care of 99 
percent of my spam.
