sendmail under YDL 3.0

Hi, I'm in the process of upgrading my 2.1/2.3 machines to 3.0. I'm
working on a workstation before I upgrade my critical server, and I'm
having trouble with sendmail (sendmail-8.12.8-5.90). I'm not able to
get mail from outside this machine.
I have tried to set up the sendmail.cf and sendmail.mc files as on my
2.1 machine (sendmail-8.11.6-2.7.1), but I am having a lot of trouble.
I have set up the /etc/mail/local-host-names and /etc/relay-names with
all the names of the new machine (only the fully-qualified and simple
names).
As a first clue, when I try and connect to port 25, I get a refusal:
[root@onsager /root]# telnet gibbs.cop.uop.edu 25
Trying 10.10.160.109...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
This leads me to believe that I have the port turned off, but sendmail
is running.
Another clue is the difference in netstat -a results. Here is the 3.0
machine's output:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address
State
tcp 0 0 localhost.localdo:32769 *:*
LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:imaps *:*
LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:http *:*
LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:*
LISTEN
tcp 0 0 localhost.localdoma:ipp *:*
LISTEN
tcp 0 0 localhost.localdom:smtp *:*
LISTEN
Here is the (working) 2.1 machine's result:
tcp 0 0 *:www *:*
LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:auth *:*
LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:*
LISTEN
tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:*
LISTEN
I don't think the 3.0 machine should have "localhost.localdomain" under
the SMTP, but I don't know why it is like that, or how to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike
