I just now tried that and it turned on port 25.  I was looking at that, 
but did not want IPv6 support, so didn't enable it.  That really should 
be documented somewhere in the docs.. AFIK, I sure didn't find it, and I 
spent a good bit of time reading thru anything dealing with sysadmin.  
It's rather misleading having the V6 option.  Things change from one 
version of sendmail to the other.. never had this kind of problem with 
all my BSD systems, and prior Linux installs..  Guess I just need to get 
up to speed!

Thanks...

Sam
