The dnsbl macro now takes 3 arguments IIRC (wrapping inserted by me to
avoid posting one huge line):
% grep dnsbl /etc/mail/freebsd.mc
dnl FEATURE(dnsbl, `blackholes.mail-abuse.org',
`"550 Mail from " $&{client_addr} " rejected, \
see http://mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/lookup?" $&{client_addr}')

Hmmm, this works perfectly here. Are you sure there isn't something
else that is wrong, i.e. your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf being generated from
the wrong .mc file or something?

See above. It's not normal for Sendmail to ``ignore'' all this stuff.
