You need to allow 'relay' - typically sendmail would store this in
/etc/mail/access
and an entry would be like...
192.168.1. RELAY
to allow users on the local subnet of 192.168.1.0/24 to relay mail.
This presupposes that you have a hash or db/dbm directive in your sendmail
configuration that check for this. Check out <
http://www.sendmail.org>
