Add this to your sendmail *.mc file:
FEATURE(`genericstable', `hash /etc/mail/genericstable')
Then create /etc/mail/genericstable file add i there add something like
this:
Then recreate your sendmail.cf file(m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf).
If u dont have a clue about sendmail; then search on www.freshmeat.net
for program 'install-sendmail', it will help you to configure your
