It looks like sendmail is only listening on ip address 127.0.0.1 as some
of the other posts pointed out. If you look at the output of the
netstat command you'll see it's listening on 127.0.0.1:25 and not
0.0.0.0:25. I'd start digging into sendmail's configuration. (Rob
Riggs' and Blaine Berger's posts)
