This has got to be one of the worst and best features about Red Hat 
Linux 7.2.
Getting sendmail to listen to things other then itself (localhost)

*Important
The default sendmail.cf does not allow sendmail to accept network 
connections from any host other than the local computer. If you want to 
configure sendmail as a server for other clients, please edit 
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc and change DAEMON_OPTIONS to also listen on 
network devices or comment out this option all together. Then regenerate 
/etc/sendmail.cf by running:


-- 
shrek-m
