Yes.  It is certainly *NOT OPEN* as has been suggested....

Trying to connect to sendmail on a newly minted F21 system from a F20 system....

[egreshko at meimei ~]$ telnet 192.168.1.222 25
Trying 192.168.1.222...
telnet: connect to address 192.168.1.222: No route to host

Then opening up the port...

[egreshko at meimei ~]$ telnet 192.168.1.222 25
Trying 192.168.1.222...
telnet: connect to address 192.168.1.222: Connection refused

Since sendmail isn't listening on the port.
