For starters, upgrade to a current sendmail.  The current release disables
relaying by default. Then, to allow relaying for specific hosts, you need to
add them to the relay-domains file.  I did a quick google search, and came
up with info here:

http://www.freebsddiary.org/relay.php
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/ref-guide/s1-email-s
endmail.html

So, the bottom line is to you need to do:
1)  upgrade sendmail using up2date
2)  If you're server.org, you're done
3)  If you're not server.org, add the entry to relay-domains and restart
sendmail
4)  If you never want to access any mail from badguy.com (relay or not), add
him to /etc/mail/access and restart sendmail
