You set it up in the access file (/etc/mail/access).  Something like:

CERTISSUER:/C=US/ST=AZ/L=Scottsdale/O=TIC/CN=TIC/emailAddress=tic at tic.com RELAY

This says a client cert signed by the issuer can relay mail. Most email
clients support this sort of authentication. As you can see, I created a
private signing certificate and then signed client certs for the users I
wish to allow relaying to my mail server. There are a number of HOWTOs
out on the net explaining the nitty-gritty details. Your sendmail server
must support SMTP-AUTH to get this to work.
