here is how I set mine up:
(cd /etc/mail)
comcast.net             smtp:smtp.comcast.net
.comcast.net            smtp:smtp.comcast.net
attbi.com               smtp:smtp.comcast.net
.attbi.com              smtp:smtp.comcast.net
.aol.com                smtp:smtp.comcast.net
aol.com         smtp:smtp.comcast.net
cs.com          smtp:smtp.comcast.net
rr.com          smtp:smtp.comcast.net
.rr.com         smtp:smtp.comcast.net
netscape.net            smtp:smtp.comcast.net
.netscape.net           smtp:smtp.comcast.net
theworld.com            smtp:smtp.comcast.net
world.std..com          smtp:smtp.comcast.net

Once mailertable is saved.
then make mailertable.db

Then I simply restart the sendmail daemon. On SuSE:
rcsendmail restart
