from the sendmail.cf file remove 127.0.0.1 ..this just says that the box will accept connections on port 25(SMTP port) from localhost. if u remove that and restart sendmail it should start working... after restarting sendmail check these ps -ef| grep sendmail and see if sendmail is waiting for incoming requests alternately try a netstat -an --tcp | more and see if 25 is alive how ever if both these are true and still ur machine does not accept connections check for firewall rules.. ipchains -F (flush existing rules) and then try telnet <ip> 25 ... should work...
