You can do it from /etc/mail/access

by setting it to:

# Check the /usr/share/doc/sendmail/README.cf file for a description
# of the format of this file. (search for access_db in that file)
# The /usr/share/doc/sendmail/README.cf is part of the sendmail-doc
# package.
#
# by default we allow relaying from localhost...
localhost.localdomain		RELAY
localhost			RELAY
127.0.0.1			RELAY
195.238.2.29			RELAY  #your SMTP server IP
To:postmaster at yourdomain.com    OK     #relay OK to this address
To:root at yourdomain.com		OK     #relay OK to this address
To:you at yourdomain.com		OK     #relay OK to this address
To:yourdomain.com		REJECT #then rejects any other address

When the file is correctly filled for EACH E-Mail Addres, Alias and
Domain make a:
makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access
And that's it...
