Viewing Sendmails current configuration

Question: is there a command for sendmail which allows me to see the active configuration ( as you can in postfix) or from where it's getting the config files/macros currently loaded?

Background:
I've got a linux sendmail box here running on appallingly cheap hardware, (256MB ram, celeron CPU, single IDE HDD, microATX form factor sold as a mail server).

Now, it's on its way to the bin but I've to keep it running in the meantime.

At irregular times, the fsecure antivirus or anti spam milter will eat up the memory and cause the load average to climb (due to HDD IO). It doesn't need to get too high before sendmail will reject incoming connections with the message

rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average:8

I've tried to adjust this upwards by editing the sendmail.mc file, and changing to

define('confREFUSE_LA','60')

to give more time between sendmail chokes but after restarting the service, it still continues to reject mail at a low threshold.
