In general, listening only on localhost is done for security reasons. It 
looks like sendmail binds only to 127.0.0.1:25

$ sudo lsof -i :25 -n
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
sendmail 5333 root    4u  IPv4 654974      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:smtp (LISTEN)

sendmail or the application that is using port 25 in your case might 
have the option to specify the ip address for listening.
