That's not it. The sendmail.mc entry causes sendmail to listen on 
localhost only. The OP's Windows box is getting a connection to the 
sendmail server (so it must already be listening on more than just 
localhost) but it's refusing to relay. The fix for that is to edit 
/etc/mail/access to allow relaying for the OP's LAN and then do "make -C 
/etc/mail".

Paul.
