Using:
FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE
Sendmail 8.13.3

I'm trying to setup my mail server, but sendmail is only listening on the
local interface:

 # netstat -an | grep 25 
 tcp4       0      0  127.0.0.1.25           *.*                    LISTEN

I can do:

# telnet localhost 25

And sendmail answers correctly.  But, if, from another machine within my
network,

# telnet 192.168.1.22 25

I get a connection refused.  Additionally, the sendmail logs show nothing of
the connectcion attempt.

How can I get it to listen on all interfaces and why am I having to do this?
I have setup sendmail on many other FreeBSD boxes and have never had this
problem.
