Mine does, albeit in brief:
-bt Run in address test mode. This mode reads
addresses and shows the steps in parsing; it is
used for debugging configuration tables.
Bat book has more info (although the second edition is very out-of-date
these days) or sendmail.* for the docs. Basically, you can type in rule
sets and addresses and see the sendmail processing results.
.cf version is here:
# grep ^DZ /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
