Incoming mail from the network? That's because of all the 127.0.0.1
and ::1 in you DAEMON_OPTION lines. You might use sendmail.cf, but
you started your new .mc file by using 
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/openbsd-localhost.mc instead of openbsd-proto.mc.

You did not quote correclty. m4 is weird like that. Quoted text for
m4 start with a backward single quote "`" and ends with a forward
single quote "'".

Either quote correctly, or remove those you put around "oxmail.ox.ac.uk".

I think it's the "'" on the .cf DS line that cause the smart host
feature to fail.


Also, just to say, the default OpenBSD supports smart host via the
mailertable when using sendmail.cf (running sendmail without
-C/etc/mail/localhost.cf flag).

This in mailertable (+recompile of the hash db):
.	relay:[oxmail.ox.ac.uk.]

Works the same as SMART_HOST.
