Do you plan to have a lot of these? If so, we can make the modifications
a bit more versatile. Anyway, you want to
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf
Then copy mit.mc somewhere else and add:
LOCAL_USER(foo)
EXPOSED_USER(foo)
Then, without changing the current directory:
m4 /path/to/file.mc > /path/to/file.cf
And then replace your /etc/sendmail.cf with /path/to/file.cf.
You could also just edit your .cf file directly, but that's cheating.

ps: You might want to look at ../README.
