That's precisely the reason why Sendmail exists. Why do you have to use
"something else"? It should be relatively painless to set up Sendmail
to accept incoming email from a specific set of hosts/addresses using
any method you find more convenient:
* Firewall rules which block access to port *:smtp from hosts which
should not be able to access it.
* /etc/hosts.deny controls
* The /etc/mail/access file of Sendmail itself.
