This also has me stumped. I will have to do some looking into suse
sendmail settings. There has to be something calling sendmail with two
different config files depending on how it is started. Look at the
sendmail init script script, and I will try to dig some more. Worst case
is I will do a quick and dirty suse install into vmware and see what it
has.

mailserver:~ # cat /etc/sendmail.cf|grep DaemonPortOptions
O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA

I have one "sendmail.cf" and one file named "sendmail.cf.SuSEconfig"

Try this command
ls -alR /etc |grep sendmail.cf
you should see only one sendmail.cf  listed

There is obviously a problem with your config.  When running with
MailScanner, sendmail only listens on your loopback address 127.0.0.1,
while it listens to all interfaces when started as standalone.

I don't know exactly where to look, but your sendmail gets an option at
MailScanner startup that is different from what you've got as
standalone.  Maybe examine /etc/init.d/MailScanner and search for
"OAddr="

I never worked on suse, so this is really the best I can do.

Hope this helps.
