Hi Adam, If sendmail is indeed running, and the client machine does report the "Connection Refused" via telnet, then you have one of three issues there.. 1) Your firewall setup is blocking port 25 2) Your sendmail is listening on another port other than 25 3) Remote chance here: You've possibly setup SMTP AUTH, but that should still let you in initially, to be able to provide the correct AUTH credentials before getting refused. So this is not likely a cause.
Check your connectivity setup, because if sendmail *is* running, then sendmail *isn't* the problem. Its elsewhere...

I'm trying to use my sendmail to relay mail, and get the popular "connection refused" message. I've made a real effort to resolve this through past messages and FAQ's etc. with no success My question is, if I telnet to port 25 on my mail server from the client machine and get a "Connection refused", where is the configuration error coming from? /etc/mail/access? /etc/mail/relay-domains? Somewhere else? Do I need to rebuild the sendmail.cf? It's default. Yes, sendmail is running. :) Any insight would be appreciated.
