Do you mean accept mail into the network or accept mail to be relayed by SMTP.

Im assuming SMTP relaying.

/etc/mail/relay-domains or /etc/mail/access are your best bets. 
Relay-domains will work "out of the box" whereas having an access list 
needs to be build into your sendmail.cf by adding it to sendmail.mc.

Any domains added to relay-domains will automatically allow any hosts on 
that domain access to your smtp. If you would rather go individual ips i 
would recommend adding them to /etc/mail/access and fixing your sendmail.mc

in terms of roaming smtp access many people resort to pop-before-smtp 
daemons which basically monitor successful pop3 logins and then adds that 
ip to the access database. They will then be granted smtp relay access.

If you want more information about fixing your sendmail.mc or hashing your 
files so they can be read please feel free to contact me.

Sendmail define some of this here:
