that should work. however, *where* have you added that statement? there's 
a "correct" order for statements in the .mc file, if you want it to work 
properly. this is one of the .mc files i've used successfully:

divert(-1)
# sendmail config for dialup system. will 15/9/01
divert(0)
include(`../m4/cf.m4')
VERSIONID(`beer sendmail config')dnl
OSTYPE(linux)dnl
DOMAIN(`generic')dnl
FEATURE(`use_cw_file')dnl
FEATURE(`mailertable')dnl
FEATURE(`virtusertable')dnl
FEATURE(`local_procmail')dnl
FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl
FEATURE(`access_db')dnl
define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.smartchat.net.au')dnl
define(`confTRUSTED_USERS', `will')dnl
define(`confTO_QUEUERETURN', `7d')dnl
define(`confTO_QUEUEWARN', `24h')dnl
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl

"FEATURE"s first, "define"s next, "MAILER"s last. i'm not 100% certain of 
what bits of the order really matter, but it ought to be either in the 
sendmail/cf/README or in the sendmail faq at www.sendmail.org.

the other thing is, you use 'make' to build that file. have you tried:

m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf

? if you haven't got the "include(`../m4/cf.m4')" statement (above) in
sendmail.mc, you'll need:

m4 ../m4/cf.m4 sendmail.m4 > sendmail.mc

will
