I kind of solved the problem. I am using pppoe to connect to my BB provider over eth1 with an IP address 192.168.3.1. when sendmail starts, it binded itsefl to eth1 rather than the pppoe interface. My named's MX on the other hands pointed at my eth0 (the internal network card) that had an IP of 192.168.2.1
Could I control the interface to which sendmail listen? I prefer it to bind to my internal network card and have MX pointing to eth0 on the server instead... > Well... 127.0.0.1 is the local loopback address.
