I've been running sendmail since it became more civilized in the
early 1990s after running smail for awhile.

You really didn't have to recompile sendmail.   Running make
in /etc/mail would have compiled a new mailertable.db with
nothing else required by you.

Reading documentation always help.  Learning to read documentation 
is the road to expertise.

And in another post you asked about having some user who is
considered local use another SMTP agent.  Use virtusertable,
also in /etc/mail

If you don't want 'joe' a local user, to get mail locally
put this in virtusertable

joe	joe@<some.other.smtp>   

And then re-run make.

I also use virtusertable to throwaway things for users that dont
exist.

I just use the   @my.domain.name   nouser

And in /etc/aliases I have 'nouser' aliased to /dev/null
