Once you've built sendmail with makesendmail, backup your original
sendmail binary (/usr/sbin/sendmail), cd into the
obj.FreeBSD.2.2.2-RELEASE.i386 directory (replace 2.2.2-RELEASE with the
FreeBSD version you're running) that you'll find wherever you built
sendmail and type make install. This will install the new binary.

Backup your original .cf file (/etc/sendmail.cf). Copy the new .cf file
you built with m4 to /etc/sendmail.cf. Reboot your machine.

AFAIK your .mc looks O.K., apart from the missing newlines ;-)

If you are going to be doing much of this, I strongly recommend that you
obtain a copy of the "bat book", see
http://www.ora.com/catalog/sendmail2/index.html, and you should
definitely take a good look at the sendmail FAQ.

Hope this helps,

 - Ian
