This question should really be asked on the semdnail mailing list, or you should check http://www.sendmail.org for configuration information.

But yes, adding that line will work.  I would be very concerned with doing that permanently though.  My reccommendation would be to tell your senders that you will implement this temporarily until they can fix their dns configuration.  Give them a few weeks or a month at the most, then remove that option.
