First, can you receive mail locally? If not, you should probably comment out the DAEMON_OPTIONS line in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and regenerate the sendmail.cf file. If this is the case, let me know and I'll give a more detailed description. Second, if you can receive mail locally, can you receive it from a location on you internal LAN? Third, what do you have in /etc/mail/access? You should put the IP addresses that you want to be able to relay in that file and restart sendmail.
