FedoraCore1 Sendmail Iptables question

[Adam Voigt]

Did you edit your /etc/mail/sendmail.mc? Specifically the line:

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

You need to remove the Addr=127.0.0.1 portion, or sendmail will only
listen on localhost.

After you make the change, you need to do a "service sendmail restart".
