You're being victimized as a relay site.

When you get found, they spread it around: ``Hey!  look here!  Someone
who hasn't disabled relay yet!  Go for it, guys!''

You need to grab src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf from the config file, add in the
stuff in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.additions, rebuild & reinstall the .cf, and
restart sendmail.  That will keep that stuff down.

Or, add in the sendmail.cf.additions verbatim to your sedmail.cf, just cut
off the LOCAL_WHATEVER tags from the top and bottom of the file.
