Either sendmail is not binding to an IP that's reachable from the outside (by default it should bind to all the IP's on the machine, though) or maybe you have some sort of firewall blocking off port 25. Something like that?

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?
Thanks..

If I do a ps aux | grep "sendmail" I have some processes running.
Sendmail is an MTA right?

If you can't connect to 25 then you don't have an MTA installed...

Ahh that's my problem - I can NOT connect to port 25.http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
Can someone help me out with trying to get that working? My deadline is
quickly approaching and I am nervous.
Thanks..

In general, an MX record is not necessary if you have an A record. That's probably not your problem here.
Are you sure sendmail is running on the list server? Can you connect to port 25 on it? Is it properly configured to accept mail?

In my network I have a corporate mail server set up that handles all the email for mlsnet.com
I have setup the RedHat box so I can send out email to newsletter
subscribers - I didn't want to put the heavy load on my corporate mail
server.
The RedHat box has sendmail on it and should be the box that handles
emails
for lists.mlsnet.com (incoming should be delivered to this box)
Also the IP for this box is the 12.105.18.209 address referenced below.
I have an A record setup for lists.mlsnet.com - I do not have an MX record setup for it though.
How do I set the box up so it handles all email sent to @lists.mlsnet.com?
Thanks for your help..

From the last error there, it looks like your mail server is trying to
deliver mail for lists.mlsnet.com to an smtp server at 12.105.18.209.
I don't know what server that is, but it needs to be running an some
sort of smtp server to accept email. If that is not where the email
should be going, then an MX record may be appropriate to point it to
the appropriate location.

Hi all - I am having some problems sending out emails to my lists.
I have Red Hat 8.0
Sendmail
MailMan 2.0.1
I have a test lists set up with test users.
When a user subscribes to the list they get a confirmation from the mailman server but when they reply there email seems to just get lost.
When I send out an email to the list nothing gets delivered.
My server name is lists.mlsnet.com and my list is called 90minutes and
I
should be able to send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to send an email to all of the
subscribers.
