I'm not sure what the error is. Did you use the m4 at all or have you
just been editing sendmail.cf? 

Perhaps one of the DNSBL you're trying to use is down or unreachable
from your network. Or, you have a format error on one of your DNSBL
sections. From a prompt take a look at the DNSBL's you have configured
and try:

dig 233.77.235.205.Spews.relays.OsiruSoft.com
dig 233.77.235.205.relays.ordb.org
dig 233.77.235.205.dnsbl.sorbs.net
dig 233.77.235.205.spamhaus.relays.OsiruSoft.com
dig 233.77.235.205.bl.spamcop.net

According to http://openrbl.org/ 205.235.77.233 is listed by SPEWS and
Spamhaus so you should get a different answer from them showing a
127.0.0.x IP. (This particular IP belongs to a well known spammer.) It's
probably not listed by SORBS since those who would report to SORBS
probably are already rejecting at least the full /24.
