Configuring sendmail to listen on Port 25 for external connections should not be that difficult to do. (but I am a newbie so I don't know much)
Can anyone point me in the right direction and let me know how I can accomplish this.. Sendmail is running, from the local host I can telnet to port 25 no problem but from any other machine I cannot get a connection to port 25. Any know what I can do to resolve this?
