hmm.  i copied that straight from my .mc, so ... it should work?

the way i've got it is to have everything from "FEATURE(" to ".org'," on
one line, a <CR>, a tab, and then everything from "`"571" to "_name}""
on the next.  another <CR>, another tab, and then "by /spamh" to "sbl/'"dnl"
i think the tabs are important....  anyway,
http://www.dorkzilla.org/~dlg/sendmail/dorkzilla.mc is my current .mc
file.  hope this helps.
