Don't lose your MC file: keep it in "/etc/mail". I think it's been
suggested, before, to install an "/etc/mail/Makefile" to make rebuilding
the databases and sendmail.cf a no-brainer. Here's mine in it's entirety:
 

M4=	/usr/bin/m4

.PHONY: all

all: access.db aliases.db genericstable.db mailertable.db virtusertable.db sendmail.cf submit.cf

access.db: access
	makemap hash ${.ALLSRC} < ${.ALLSRC}

aliases.db: aliases
	newaliases

genericstable.db: genericstable
	makemap hash ${.ALLSRC} < ${.ALLSRC}

mailertable.db: mailertable
	makemap hash ${.ALLSRC} < ${.ALLSRC}

virtusertable.db: virtusertable
	makemap hash ${.ALLSRC} < ${.ALLSRC}

sendmail.cf: MAIL.IMMANENT.NET.mc
	cp -p sendmail.cf sendmail.cf.old
	${M4} ${.ALLSRC} > sendmail.cf

submit.cf: SUBMIT.mc
	cp -p submit.cf submit.cf.old
	${M4} ${.ALLSRC} > submit.cf


Season to taste. Note, you have to add


define(`_CF_DIR_', `/usr/share/sendmail/')
include(`/usr/share/sendmail/m4/cf.m4')


to the top of your MC file to permit it to build anywhere, as the
default is to take "_CF_DIR_" as the current working directory.
