I know very little about this, but in my little niche, I found I had to update sendmail.cf to not be restricted to localhost. In /etc/sendmail, I updated sendmail.mc: # pwd /etc/mail # diff sendmail.mc.bak sendmail.mc 105c105 < DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl --- > dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl # Then ran make -C /etc/mail as shown in the .mc and .cf files.
