Good news then in general, thanks for the heads up Michael.

I assumed dovecot replaced sendmail entirely so am a little confused as to why it would 
use a sendmail.cf at all and would have it's own config files. So how does this work 
then?

I'm happy enough to copy and paste sections back into the right places in any new 
sendmail.cf and sure I could get it working, just a little confused about the usage of 
sendmail.cf at all with dovecot.

Never used dovecot so prolly just me being simple like :)

Any insight appreciated.
