Are they sending it through your sendmail server?
Is it your sendmail server is denying it?
Note that most installs sendmail only listens to the looback address.

I think your sendmail server is denying it.
try 
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc
dnl #
dnl # The following causes sendmail to only listen on the IPv4 loopback address
dnl # 127.0.0.1 and not on any other network devices. Remove the loopback
dnl # address restriction to accept email from the internet or intranet.
dnl #
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

and you have to set up relaying in /etc/mail/access
