I don't know what version of sendmail you are using, but the following comments
refer to building V 8.9.3 from source.

This may not be the solution, but have a look at the "Dj" line in /etc/sendmail.cf
and see if that will simply do what you want.

I don't think thats the correct syntax - try:
m4 /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 foo.mc > foo.cf
Check the resulting foo.cf file and then copy it as sendmail.cf to /etc
PS. It doesn't hurt to spend a litlle while at sendmail.org, especially
at http://www.sendmail.org/m4/readme.html and check out the
introduction and example.
