I still stand by my thinking that there should be some mention of how to enable sendmail to accept network connections in the docs without swimming thru all the various pages of setup and sysadmin, but that is strictly *my* opinion. I know better now :-)
I have to agree with you. Merely stating that default Sendmail doesn't work outside localhost without indicating the simple steps to cure that is only half a solution.
It does say how to fix it...
"To configure Sendmail as a server for other clients, edit the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file, and either change the address specified in the Addr= option of the DAEMON_OPTIONS directive from 127.0.0.1 to the IP address of an active network device or comment out the DAEMON_OPTIONS directive all together by placing dnl at the beginning of the line. When finished, regenerate /etc/mail/sendmail.cf by executing the following command:
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf "
