Some of these macros are for a newer version of sendmail.
I do not think sendmail v2 understands the Dw macro.
You do not need the DD macro as you will not be receiving email.

> DDroadrunner.com
Setting the DD macro to roadrunner.com will cause sendmail to use a local
delivery program for anything sent to roadrunner.com.

If you are only going to use sendmail to send email and not receive email then
sendmail v2 is going to work just fine, if you want to also receive email then
you need to use sendmail v8.12 as the v2 version has way too many security
problems. I do have sendmail v8.12 running on my system. It is much harder to
set up and you need a book (two inches thick) to get the syntax of all the M4
macros to be able to compile the sendmail.cf file.
When I copied the files to your USB memory drive I included the sendmail.cf
file I use for sendmail v2. The only thing you need to change in that .cf file
is the DV macro to be the name of your ISPs outbound email server.
