That's not it. The sendmail.mc entry causes sendmail to listen on localhost only. The OP's Windows box is getting a connection to the sendmail server (so it must already be listening on more than just localhost) but it's refusing to relay. The fix for that is to edit /etc/mail/access to allow relaying for the OP's LAN and then do "make -C /etc/mail".
