Let's say the fully qualified hostnames are mailhost.my.net and
mailhost.your.net. Assuming mail will always come to the fully
qualified name, you need just two lines:
mailhost.my.net
mailhost.your.net
and that's the entire file. There are no macros or anything funny like
that, just a straight list. Since mine are not long I don't worry
about comments, but I do believe standard comment lines beginning with
"#" and blank lines are are allowed. If you include comments and
they're not allowed, it will be real obvious because sendmail plain
won't come up and so you'll know real quickly to remove them.
