Default sendmail configuration

I would like to configure sendmail (if it's still the interface) to send and receive messages from the outside. Particularly interested in using it to subscribe to the mailing lists. I am not sure where to configure the incoming and outgoing mail servers. Would that be in smtpd.conf?

I also am interested in configuring mail on OpenBSD. It is one thing that I wished to configure some time ago, and did nothing :P Instead configured some other things like pf with blocklists, dnscrypt and so on, but no mail.
I don't know what software for mail configuration is available in base and if something highly recommended is not base what packages to use?
I just don't know which man pages to read.
I have mail accounts at Yahoo and Yandex.

Sendmail was deprecated for 5.7-release. The MTA in base is OpenSMTPd, a very simple, easy to configure MTA.

If you require it, sendmail is available in ports/packages, along with many other MTA applications.

I guess these:
man smtpd(8)
man smtpd.conf(5)
and eventually:
man smtpctl(8)

OpenSMTPd is named like OpenBGPd and OpenOSPFd (for example), where the project name is Open${DAEMON}, but the program itself is named simply ${DAEMON}. In other words, OpenSMTPd is simply "smtpd". So you could look at the man pages for smtpd, smtpd.conf, or any of the others listed by "man -k smtpd".
