In addition to Mike's answer about editing /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, it's 
worthwhile mentioning netstat and lsof as general-purpose diagnostic 
tools:

   # to discover on what tcp ports we're listening
   netstat -tl

   # to discover to what ports sendmail is bound
   lsof -iTCP -n | grep sendmail

The output of these tools won't tell you how to fix the problem, but 
they might give you a better glimpse into the problem's nature. In 
this case, you'd have discovered that sendmail was only bound to the 
loopback interface.
