Sendmail ignoring Mailertable

Hi Friends,

I am running sendmail 8.14 on rhel6. I have 2 mail servers as serv1.home.com and test.home.com. Currently test.home.com is pointing as MX for home.com domain. So what I am trying to do is to route emails arriving at test.home.com server to serv1.home.com using mailertable. I have defined the Feature in sendmail.mc file and compiled the sendmail.cf accordingly, also created mailertable file and generated mailertable.db also. But the sendmail is ignoring the mailertabel and is delivering all the emails sent at @home.com locally to test.home.com using the MX lookup. Logs do not show any error message at all.

Code:
 #cat mailertable
home.com	esmtp:serv1.home.com

Code:
  sendmail.mc

include(/home/rohit/sendmail-8.14.5/cf/m4/cf.m4)dnl
VERSIONID(`$Id: generic-linux.mc,v 8.1 1999/09/24 22:48:05 gshapiro Exp $')
OSTYPE(linux)dnl
DOMAIN(generic)dnl
FEATURE(`mailertable', `hash /etc/mail/mailertable')dnl
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl


So what i could be missing, any help would be greatly appreciated.Smilie

check-permissions(1M)					  System Administration Commands				     check-permissions(1M)

NAME
check-permissions - check permissions on mail rerouting files SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/check-permissions [login] DESCRIPTION
The check-permissions script is intended as a migration aid for sendmail(1M). It checks the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file for all configured alias files, and checks the alias files for :include: files. It also checks for certain .forward files. For each file that check-permis- sions checks, it verifies that none of the parent directories are group- or world-writable. If any directories are overly permissive, it is reported. Otherwise it reports that no unsafe directories were found. As to which .forward files are checked, it depends on the arguments included on the command line. If no argument is given, the current user's home directory is checked for the presence of a .forward file. If any arguments are given, they are assumed to be valid logins, and the home directory of each one is checked. If the special argument ALL is given, the passwd entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file is checked, and all password entries that can be obtained through the switch file are checked. In large domains, this can be time-consuming. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: login Where login is a valid user name, checks the home directory for login. ALL Checks the home directory of all users. FILES
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf Defines environment for sendmail /etc/mail/aliases Ascii mail aliases file ATTRIBUTES
