You need to do two things:
1. Fillow the instructions in the Release Notes which are
to comment out the line in the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file
that deals with DAEMON_OPTIONS. You do that in this m4 code
by putting a dnl at the beginning of the line. Then
execute: m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/senfmail.cf

2. In the hosts.allow file put the line:
sendmail: <domains you want to allow>
