The default on ALL RedHat based sendmail installs is to only accept
local connections (IE.. from and to 127.0.0.1)
You will have to fix this. It is commented well in the sendmail.mc file.
Look for the section with;

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 #
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl
Your default will be different, as this has already been changed.
