It should accept mail from anywhere to your own addresses (your hostname 
or any other names you add to /etc/mail/local-hostnames.  If you want 
other machines to be able to send mail that is accepted and relayed on 
to some other destination, add the permitted network range(s) to 
/etc/mail/access with RELAY and restart sendmail.
