I've found the answer to my own question. In /etc/mail/sendmail.mc I
find:
dnl #
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,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
dnl #
After I made sure that the "sendmail-cf" package was installed (which
allows you to use sendmail.mc to create sendmail.cf), I commented that
bit out, ran a "make" in /etc/mail, restarted sendmail and now all is
well.
