That is for outgoing mail.

To get your ns1 to accept mail for your domain:

- set up a MX record in your DNS zone file for your domain:

@		MX	5 ns1

Then in your sendmail local-host-names file add your domain name.
Your mc file will have something like:
FEATURE(`use_cw_file')
Or manually add to sendmail.cf:
Cwdomain.org

Good luck,
