It's better to edit the `hostname`.mc file and then process that into
a sendmail.cf otherwise you run the risk of overwriting your
customized .cf file when you do a {build,install}world cycle.

Just change the line:

    dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `your.isp.mail.server')

into

   define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.domain.com') 

and run 'make install restart-mta'

You've changed the sendmail config just fine.  What you need to do now
is investigate why your machine isn't finding 'mail.domain.com' in the
DNS.
