probably not good questions for the list but better you to read up on
what you want to do. The above is normal behavior for an smtp server
that is accepting mail for local users - how else would anyone else send
e-mail to users on your domain if it didn't work this way?

yeah by RFC, you shouldn't need to be sending from a valid host and you
can offer a return e-mail address that is totally faked

if that is the case, it isn't working - perhaps you want to show us your
real sendmail.mc file or read up on using sendmail.

nothing I saw above would indicate that but you can have other systems
test your system for being an open relay...try www.ordb.org

You need to read up on sendmail, MTA usage in general. This list can
help with configuration details but you need to get a better
understanding which would only come from in depth reading of things like
the Sendmail 'Bat' book.
