IP Tables blocking SMTP

Hi,

I need to block SMTP relay attempts from a specific IP on my lan.
I have setup the sendmail access file to only allow relaying from the
machines that need to but still get relaying denied in my maillog.

Is there a way I can use IP tables to block relaying attempts from a
specific
IP address ? (Thus not having the relaying denied messages in my maillog).

Thanks,

Leo
