Interesting, but welcome to OpenPKG for any reason. Even politics.

Sendmail doesn't communicate directly with devices (network or any other)
It simply opens TCP ports using your systems socket interface. The OpenPKG
sendmail package listens on 127.0.0.1 by default, which is mostly likely
bound to your lo interface.

To make sendmail listen on a different interface, first pick an IP Address
bound to it (use ifconfig -a to found out). The sendmail configuration
variable to change is in /opkg/etc/sendmail/sendmail.m4 and is called
'confMYIPADDRESS'.

  1. Change to the /opkg/etc/sendmail directory.
  2. Edit sendmail.m4 and change the value to your chosen IP Address.
  3. Type 'make' to generate the real sendmail configuration files.
  4. Reload the sendmail configuration with /opkg/etc/rc sendmail reload.

I'll hand this one off, since I'm not an amavisd user.
