has good instructions for editing sendmail.cf. See the other posts as to
what DNSBL to use. Make sure those spaces are tabs.
I have a local file to point to instead of the DNSBL site like
http://ORDB.org/lookup/?host="$&{client_addr}
Mine is similar to http://www.spamblocked.net/

Windows method.
I download the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file and edit it in Notetab Pro.
(Great text editor.)
Upload it (ASCII) to some web space and while using Putty via SSH I 
cd /etc/mail
 and while in /etc/mail I:

cp sendmail.cf sendmail.cf.bak
Then
cp /home/sites/site#/web/sendmail.cf sendmail.cf
Then:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop
killall -9 sendmail
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start
ps waux | grep sendmail

Now you should see accepting connections for Sendmail. If not, you can
cp your .bak file back as the sendmail.cf file and restart as above and
figure out where the errors are in your new sendmail.cf file.
