This is not RH-specific (in fact, it's Debian).

Firstly, use a recent version of sendmail - closed relay and a lot of other spam 
control features are on by default.

in sendmail.mc:
Cwmydomain.com.au

in relay-domains:
192.168.1	RELAY

If your MX record points to a different hostname than the one in the Cw 
declaration or you accept mail for different domains, add them to the 
local-host-names file (one per line).

Either:
   m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
or
   cd /etc/mail/;make sendmail.cf

then:
   /etc/init.d/sendmail reload

HTH.
