Using Solaris 10 (x86) with Sendmail 8.14.4, I am logged into the
machine as root.

Basically, I can telnet to port 25 of localhost but not of the machine
name or the IP address.

# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 <servername> ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.4/8.14.4; Thu, 22 Jul 2010
14:43:06 -0500 (CDT)

# telnet <servername> 25
Trying <ip address>...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

-----

/etc/hosts contains

127.0.0.1 localhost
<ip address> servername servername.duc.auburn.edu loghost mailhost

-----

/etc/hosts.allow contains:

sendmail: ALL

-----

# svcprop sendmail |grep local_only
config/local_only boolean false

-----

I tried "netservices open" and still had the same problem. Sendmail
and inetd are running.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

The problem is obvious. sendmail is only listening on 127.0.0.1.

Check the DAEMON_OPTIONS in your .mc file

Thanks. I've listed the .mc file I've been using. I tried a
DAEMON_OPTIONS (seen below) but it didn't work so I have it commented
out.

When I use this DAEMON_OPTIONS, rebuild/install sendmail.cf and
restart sendmail, ps shows the following, that it's still listening to
127.0.0.1. How can I fix this?

# ps | grep sendmail
