I added teh following to the freebsd.mc sendmail config file (in
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf).  It disables relaying, and also refuses
mail from sites that are on Paul Vixie's Realtime Blackhole List.
/etc/sendmail.cR has a list of machines that are allowed to relay --
machines for which I serve as a mail host, for example.  You should also
have something like

	FM-o /etc/sendmail.mxhosts

with a list of machiens for which you supply MX service, but I haven't
verified that.  Sorry.  (I barely understand sendmail ;).)
