how) to have sendmail reject the connection if the from address is
aol.com but the mail server isn't aol.com (likewise for msn, yahoo,
etc.).

Blacklists like www.spamhaus.org will use the sending mail server and if it's a known spam source, it will not get through.

FEATURE(`dnsbl',`sbl.spamhaus.org',`Rejected(http://spamhaus.org/)')dnl

or you can build your own blacklist but that's purely reactive and isn't suited really to my taste but may be to yours.

Yeah, I already use spamhaus and it gets a bunch of the spam. I also use the reactive approach of adding domains to the access list and that nails a bunch of them too.
