You do not have to add anything to your .mc/.cf file. Just be sure to have this line in /etc/rc.conf: sendmail_enable=YES then restart sendmail, and it will listen on all interfaces. Sendmail starts correctly, so the m4 compilation was successful, but it is still only listening on 127.0.0.1:25 according to netstat -atn. It's better to use sockstat -l | grep sendmail. It lists user, command and PID along with the IP address (* if all addresses) and port number, so you can easily match it with output from ps or top, using the PID number. If sendmail is listening only on localhost, it usually means that you don't have sendmail_enable=YES in rc.conf. In that case, the default is to run sendmail only on the localhost interface, so that local mail delivery does work (e.g. output mailed from cron jobs). A common error is to put an entry at the top of rc.conf, not noticing that another entry further down the file overrides it. The last entry takes effect. For example, if you have sendmail_enable=YES at the top, but there's sendmail_enable=NO somewhere near the end of the file, then the latter will take effect. grep sendmail /etc/rc.conf will tell you the truth. After any changes, don't forget to restart sendmail: /etc/rc.d/sendmail restart If you're extra paranoid, first do only stop instead of restart, then verify that no sendmail processes are running, then perform the start.

sendmail CLIENT_OPTIONS
Hello, folks - I am setting up the sendmail on my 7.2-STABLE system, and I cannot get it to listen to my live server address besides the localhost. I've added CLIENT_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Addr=64.156.192.103, Name=MTA')dnl directly above the DAEMON_OPTIONS lines (after the FEATUREs), recompiled with make -C, and copied the domain-specific cf to sendmail.cf. I've reviewed the old docs on /usr/share/sendmail/cf and the newer ones on /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf that were referenced in the manual. Sendmail starts correctly, so the m4 compilation was successful, but it is still only listening on 127.0.0.1:25 according to netstat -atn. This seems to be more of a newbie issue than a STABLE issue, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I just updated to fix the null issue, but I don't see anything in either UPDATING file. If you need more configs, please forgive me for not including them. No other changes have been made to the mc file.
