You will have to add your details into the /etc/mail/access file. This
file specifies which networks/domains/etc are allwed to relay through
you.  edit it like this:

192.168.0. RELAY
anotherdomain.com.au RELAY
yourdomain.net RELAY

Add your ip address to your DNS/hosts/
in /etc/hosts 

192.168.1.16            bill.you.com.au
192.168.1.17            betty.you.com.au
192.168.1.28            presario.you.com.au
192.168.1.26            wes.you.com.au
192.168.1.27            paul.you.com.au

not by default. in your sendmail.mc 

dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl

Those are the types that it will accept.  plain = no security etc etc
and will only rely on the above two settings to control who can send and
what not.
