Add the ip addresses and full names of the machines trying to mail you 
into the hosts file.

OR:

add

FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl

into your mc file, then rebuild the cf with m4, then restart sendmail.

You can test it from the command line to see if your mail gets through.

Personally, I'd go with the first, as your spam levels will increase 
dramatically with the second.
