Basic Sendmail question

[Mike Kercher]

Look at your sendmail.mc  Your DEAMON_OPTIONS are telling sendmail to listen
on 127.0.0.1  Make that line look like mine below, regen your .cf and
restart.

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.

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Name=MTA')dnl
