[lug] Sendmail listens to Port 25 too, though using DaemonPortOptions=Port=8025

Hi,

I have encountered the following problem using sendmail Version 8.12.0:

When including the line

O DaemonPortOptions=Port=8025

sendmail listens to Port 8025 (as it should), however, it still listens to
Port 25. Does anyone know how to prevent sendmail from listening to Port 25.

I found out, that changing the smtp-Entry in /etc/services would solve the
problem, however it raises another:
sendmail tries to connect to the smtp-port specified in /etc/services, when
sending an email to another server...

Thank you in advance for any advice!

Regards,

Roland
