Not quite.  Careful with those caret (`^') characters.

The /etc/mail/local-host-names file is not where relay control is
configured.  This is what /etc/mail/access and /etc/mail/access.db
are for.

The format of /etc/mail/access is described in:

    /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README

Look for the section starting with:

    +---------------------------------+
    | ANTI-SPAM CONFIGURATION CONTROL |
    +---------------------------------+
