Sendmail question.

I've had to deal with the same sendmail problem that Tommy described.
In your sendmail.cf file you'll find a reference to 127.0.0.1 indicating
that sendmail should only listen on the local loopback interface.
This is intended to improve security for machines that aren't acting as
mail servers but need to have sendmail running on the local interface
for fetchmail and things like that.  Anyway, you should replace 127.0.0.1
with 0.0.0.0, then restart sendmail, and it will work.
