Re: I'd like to be able to recieve mail, but not send it out (re: sendmail)

Not only did this take six months to get here  :), but if you look at the 
headers it also came from a ca.gov server...?  Funny... well, anyway,

I take it you mean you only want to accept incoming mail.

There are many ways to do this.  One way is with the mailertable.  At the 
beginning of your sendmail.cf file you should have a line like
        Kmailertable hash /usr/local/sendmail/databases/mailertable.db
In your mailertable you can have something like:
        .mydomain.com  esmtp:relayhost.com
Then somewhere in the Parse1 ruleset, you'll have a line that calls it.
After that line, you can put a line that rejects all email:
        R< $+ > $*      $#error

Another thing you can do is enable check_rcpt ruleset, and disable mail 
rcpt from any internal domain machine, via the access database.  The 
sendmail documentation will have more information about this.

I'm just guessing about your requirements, though.  I didn't fully 
understand the question.
