Look in /etc/mail for hints about spam protection. The anti-relay rules are
in there also. Alternatively, look at http://www.sendmail.org/ for examples
to disallow relaying.

Hopefully, showing your admins the sendmail.cf (or .mc) should be proof
enought. After all, disallowing relaying is quite easy even for a FreeBSD
mail exploder.

Feel free to contact me directly if you need any assistance.

Cheers,
Stefan
