1.

Look in /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny

Make sure hosts other than 127.0.0.1 are allowed to connect.

2.  Do you have ipchains, or iptables running?

(Did you set up the firewall during the setup?)

If so, then you must allow other machines to connect to port 25 on your
machine for it to work.

Subject: Sendmail question


I hav a newly installed Redhat 7.1 server.
Everything seems ok except sendmail

when I do a netstat -l I get

localhost:smtp

if I telnet to localhost 25 I get the sendmail prompt
but if I telnet to servername 25 I get connection refused.

It's like the service is binded to the localhost..

how do I change this.. I have never seen this as a default install..
