Everything looks good until the above step. Just copy myconfig.cf (without 
changing anything) to ~/etc/sendmail.cf

The functionality of default.mc (and default.cf) are a superset of the 
original (short) sendmail.cf.

Don't hand-edit the sendmail.cf file that is generated from an mc file. Then 
blacklists will work.

Not interested in looking at the cf file, but will look at the mc file if you 
want.

Good luck!
