>Description:
when adding the dnsbl feature to the mc file, in my case /etc/mail/linq.nxdomain.nl.mc, after running make && make install the rule isn't showing up in the sendmail.cf file. 

-- line in .mc file --
FEATURE(dnsbl, `sbl.spamhaus.org', `"550 Mail from " $&{client_addr} " on SBL, see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=" $&{client_addr}')

-- lines in .cf file --
# DNS based IP address spam list sbl.spamhaus.org
R$*                     $: $&{client_addr}
R$-.$-.$-.$-            $: <?> $(dnsbl $4.$3.$2.$1.sbl.spamhaus.org. $: OK $)
R<?>OK                  $: OKSOFAR
R<?>$+<TMP>             $: TMPOK

-- expected lines in .cf file --
# DNS based IP address spam list sbl.spamhaus.org
R$*                     $: $&{client_addr}
R$-.$-.$-.$-            $: <?> $(dnsbl $4.$3.$2.$1.sbl.spamhaus.org. $: OK $)
R<?>OK                  $: OKSOFAR
R<?>$+<TMP>             $: TMPOK
R<?>$+                  $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: "550 Mail from " $&{client_addr} " on SBL, see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=" $&{client_addr}

>How-To-Repeat:
add FEATURE(dnsbl, `sbl.spamhaus.org', `"550 Mail from " $&{client_addr} " on SBL, see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=" $&{client_addr}') to .mc file and run make && make install from /etc/mail
>Fix:
workaround for me at the moment is to add the rewrite line in my sendmail.cf file manually.
