Sendmail ships with its configuration set to ONLY listen to the
loopback device. You can reconfigure it by simply changing one line (no
need to run m4 and all that crap!).
vi /etc/sendmail.cf
Find for the line containing: "DaemonPortOptions"
It will probably look like this:
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA
Change it to look like this:
O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA
Stop and start sendmail...
By not defining any ports in "DaemonPortOptions" you are telling
sendmail to listen to ALL interfaces on your machine. So if you ever
define alias interfaces on your ethernet, and add additional ethernet
cards, your sendmail will work automagically with those new interfaces :-)
Enjoy!
