Did you remove this from your sendmail.mc file?

dnl # The following causes sendmail to only listen on the IPv4 loopback
address
dnl # 127.0.0.1 and not on any other network devices. Remove the loopback
dnl # address restriction to accept email from the internet or intranet.
dnl #
dnl # DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

I am going to paste all of the pertinent files into the email. maybe you
guys can shed some light on my problem. It basically is that MailScanner
will not recieve mail and send it to my mail server via the mailertable
feature.Im not even sure how to test just sendmail by itself, but Ive been
having the linux box listen on port 25 and my router point to it. and the mx
record too. nothing in the mqueue folders.
-----------------------------------------
[root at localhost root]# service sendmail stop
Shutting down sendmail:                                    [  OK  ]
Shutting down sm-client:                                   [FAILED]
(I don't know if that failed message has anything to do with it)
------------------------------------------
Starting MailScanner daemons:
         incoming sendmail:                                [  OK  ]
         outgoing sendmail:                                [  OK  ]
         MailScanner:                                      [  OK  ]
(this looks okay)
