[plug] incoming mail problem

[tsuki_yomi at moon.curtin.edu.au]

Is this with Redhat 7.x?

If so then it seems that in their infinite wisdom they bound sendmail to 
127.0.0.1

The results are pretty much as you described (I fell foul of this myself)

If you check sendmail.mc you should find a line like - 

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

If you change the address to your external IP it should work. (remember to 
rebuild sendmail.cf afterward, as well as restart sendmail to have the 
changes take effect)
