try using the following format:
myotherdomain.com smtp: [inside box name]
confirm that you have the mailertable directive in your /etc/sendmail.cf
and that after editing the mailertable file that you're issuing the
makemap hash command.
also, make sure that the MX record for myotherdomain.com points at the
external IP of your smtp relay and that dns is resolving that MX record.

have you confirmed that with ping tests to the host in question?

this is for hosts belonging to myotherdomain.com sending email OUT
via your smtp relay. (you'd need to do this for email clients to send
mail out to the internet. is it your intention that they send outbound
email thru your smtp relay rather than the internal email server?)

use of a cw may not strictly be necessary depending on what you're trying
to accomplish.
Upon adding directives to your sendmail.mc are you actually running m4
on it to replace your existing /etc/sendmail.cf?

that's not correct. You need an MX to tell the internet and other
smtp servers to route email to your smtp relay. Once MX get's it there,
the sendmail directives in question would be responsible for routing
the email to your internal server.
