I saw the info a lot of places. Here is one of them:
Using SpamAssassin on a Sendmail relay
All I really want to happen is that sendmail sends to procmail, which checks if it is spam or not and hands the good email back to sendmail who will forward the good mail off to the correct mail server depending on the domain.
If any one knows a better way to do this, I am all ears.

Hi,
I notice that my relay on sendmail.cf is just "DS" and no ip. So I guess, it's using the local DNS to relay my mail which sometimes being spammed. I would like to add a new relay ip "DSxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" on sendmail.cf.

sendmailconfig
SENDMAILCONFIG(8) System Manager's Manual SENDMAILCONFIG(8)
NAME
sendmailconfig - configure sendmail for Debian systems
SYNOPSIS
sendmailconfig [--no-reload]
DESCRIPTION
sendmailconfig is used to simplify the configuration of sendmail(8) for use on Debian systems.
In the simplest case, you may run this program to (re)configure sendmail for your Debian system at any time. It will modify the file
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc in order to create a working sendmail configuration which will be written to the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.
For advanced configurations, you can modify the sendmail.mc file before generating sendmail.cf. Future invokations of sendmailconfig will
preserve these changes provided they are made at the end of the file.
Normally sendmailconfig will ask if you want to reload sendmail after making changes to its configuration. The --no-reload option will
avoid this question.
FILES
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc
sendmail m4 input to generate sendmail.cf
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf
actual sendmail configuration file
/etc/mail/sendmail.cw
names for which we will accept mail in the standard configuration
/etc/mail/sendmail.ct
names of trusted users in the standard configuration
