Look at the sendmail.cf file - look for a like that reads

#OK ALL

there are some comments above it which explain what it does. Put
simply, it enables processing of various types of nameserver
records - including MX. Uncomment and change this line as appropriate
and then

refresh -s sendmail

You may want to read through sendmail.cf and change a number of other
flags.
