Sendmail problems

Hello Jared

This sounds like a fresh sendmail install.
In your sendmail.cf is a line like

 DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA

This line restrics the smpt service to localhost only
If you change this line in

 DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp, Name=MTA

or you can comment the line out.
That should do the trick.

Grtz,Remco
