sendmail is now bound to only your localhost.
open the sendmail.cf file. search for localhost or 127.0.0.1 and remove that
entry.
then it will bind to all the interfaces on your machine.

once that is done, you will be able to recieve mail.

to verfiy why you are not receiving mail now, try
nmap <LAN IP>

nmap <WAN IP>

if you dont see the smtp port open, then surely you cannot receive mail from
the LAN desktops or outside world respectively.
