You'll probably also need a smart_host to deliver mail destined for remote locations. This can be inserted in the blank space in my original post. The format is define(SMART_HOST,smtp.mail.com)dnl where "smtp.mail.com" is the name of your ISP or third party mail server. Once you have the mc file ready to go, you run the m4 command to build the sendmail.cf. On my system the command looks like: m4 my.mc >/etc/mail/sendmail.cf Once you've built the sendmail.cf file, you can browse it to see whether you changes took effect. For example, you can search for your mail-server which you coded as a smart_host. If you don't find it, it probably means that there was a syntax error in your mc file.
