/etc/hosts.deny is only used by tcpwrappers when going through
inetd.  Sendmail usually runs as a daemon, you're better off
using the access db usually in /etc/mail/access, the format
is real simple such as:

192.168.10.3	REJECT

You can specify the entry like:

192.168.10.	REJECT

To get the subnet on the byte boundaries, no CIDR here folks...not
unless you want to really go insane in sendmail.cf language semantics
;-).
