I tried to configure sendmail so that I can use mail() in php. I don't host my email server, my ISP does. I just want to configure sendmail so that it uses external email server (my ISP) to send mail. When I executed mail(), i got no error report from php. I checked /var/log/maillog and it indicated that the message was accepted for delivery. However, it didn't delivery and indicated DSN: Service unavailable.

That is a permantent failure DSN code. At this moment, testing the host "mail.jadesterling.com", trying to send a mail with "MAIL FROM:apache@jadesterling.com" and "RCPT TO:hnguyen@jadesterling.com" was accepted (I did QUIT and did not really send a mail message). The answer from the recipient host "Service unavailable" indicates that at time you tried to relay through that smart host it did not act properly. You said that is the MTA of your ISP (looks like a Windows® software) - you should ask them about availability of that host. Before please read through my comments on your sendmail.mc and change some settings. A restart of the sendmail service is needed to make the changes active.

It is advised to masquerade the envelope. So activate that feature.
dnl # dnl # masquerade not just @mydomainalias.com, but @*.mydomainalias.com as well dnl # dnl FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)dnl
I suggest you activate that masquerading feature too, as your mail comes from "jadenet.jadesterling.com" (I guess your hostname).
dnl # dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost)dnl dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(localhost.localdomain)dnl dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(mydomainalias.com)dnl dnl MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(mydomain.lan)dnl
You need to fill class {M} - so set as much MASQUERADE_DOMAIN as you need.
FEATURE(`genericstable',`hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable.db')dnl GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/generics-domains')dnl
You have set content inside the genericstable and the flat generics-domains file?
