I am apparently doing something wrong somewhere, as I cannot get sendmail to listen on port 25. I've edited the sendmail.mc, commenting out the daemon process on port 127, rerun the m4 macro, rebuilt per documentation on sendmail, yet I still get a refusal on connection when trying to telnet to port 25. Is there something else I'm overlooking causing sendmail to not listen on port 25? Getting desperate now!

Post the output of:
grep -v "^dnl" /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
netstat -talpen | grep :25
Check your packet filtering setup and be sure port 25 isn't blocked.

Alexander, I believe I got some type of control character in your instructions.. looks like "Ctrl dnl" but running the command returns nothing. The netstat grep does not show port 25 as active either. At this moment, there is no packet filtering or firewall in use that I'm aware of. Completely new installation.

The command to run was meant as to grep for lines without a leading "dnl" - "'caret'dnl".

Thanks for your help. I see now.. didn't realize it was just a caret. Thought something was funny with a control character.
