smarttab questions and usage #13539

I'm a sysadmin at a law firm. There is a federal court severing about
4000+ plaintiffs from a case we are handling. The court sends one
email per plaintiff being severed from the case. Well, instead of
there being a service address setup on our end for this stuff, we have
about 10 individuals subscribed to getting these 4000+ emails. The
attorneys here are pretty upset about it b/c they don't want all those
messages.

Ok, now my task. I want to intercept (using sendmail) all the messages
coming in from that address and deliver them to a mail-enabled public
folder on our exchange server, then the attys won't get the emails,
just the public folder. My front end is sendmail 8.13.1 (RPM compiled
from source) on Red Hat 9 doing mimedefang/spamassassin/clamd scanning
before it's delivered to exchange.

what I've done so far:
1) downloaded open-sendmail-2007-09-25.tar.gz from sourceforge
2) copied smarttable.m4 to my cf/feature directory
3) added FEATURE(`smarttable') to my sendmail.mc file.
4) patched cf/m4/proto.m4 with local-domain-routing.patch and local-
user-routing.patch
5) ran m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
6) HUP'd sendmail
7) added 'ecf_paed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx local:ecfpaed' to /etc/mail/
smarttab
8) added 'ecfpaed: ecfpaed@xxxxxxxx' to /etc/mail/aliases. the
public folder address on the exchange server is ecfpaed@xxxxxxxxx
9) I already had 'fpwk.com smtp:[10.1.5.4]' in /etc/mail/
mailertable to make sendmail deliver to the exchange server, no change
needed in mailertable
10) ran newaliases and make from /etc/mail to build aliases.db and
smarttable.db

Messages from ecf_paed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx are not being deliverd to the
public folder. what am I missing? I've seen another post from anfi
about using LOCAL_RULE_0 instead of LOCAL_NET_CONFIG, but I'm a little
confused by that part. I didn't see LOCAL_RULE_0 in smarttable.m4;
only LOCAL_CONFIG, LOCAL_NET_CONFIG and LOCAL_RULESETS.

I know i'm probably just missing one little piece of the puzzle here.
any help would be most appreciated.
