Yes, there is a way to set the RELAY open, but then you would most likely
get spammers using your mail server to relay their messages.  This is not
very secure.  You can add IP address ranges like this:

192.168.0.1	RELAY	-- this adds one ip address
192.168.1	RELAY -- this adds the subnet 192.168.1.[0-255]
192.168	RELAY -- this add everything in 192.168	(192.168.[0-255].[0-255])

This is much more secure and possibly much simpler.  Did you regenerate the
sendmail.cf file after taking out (dnl ...) the listen only on localhost
(127.0.0.1)?
