That line is in my freebsd.mc file, not sendmail.mc, which does not 
exist on my system.  I hope this is your typo and not a peculiarity in 
my system.
Uncommenting that line and inserting my mail.ISP didn't solve the 
problem. unfortunately.
I have just printed out the large README file in 
/usr/src/contrib/sendmail and am ploughing through the list of changes 
it suggests.
I _think_ my troubles show that the purchase of "release" every so often 
and ungrading from there would be wise for ignorant people like me, as 
well as providing a small conribution to the cause.  I'm sure 4.8 
Release CD would have done the necessary things to keep my 
communications working OK.  I could then track stable to the next 
release.  (Sounds good to me, anyway <g>)
