You can add the following rule to the *check_mail* hook in sendmail
     tab
R$*<>   $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: "551 You must provide a proper from address"
      ^

This will require the sender to provide something as a mail from: value
and then any content given will be checked by the regular tests that you
provide. See sendmail.org for additional info about the hook.
