Remove the loopback dnl # address restriction to accept email from the internet or intranet. dnl # DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl dnl # The line that binds it to loopback is the DAEMON_OPTIONS line. comment it out like this: dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl Save that change, and you should be able to run "make -C /etc/mail" and restart sendmail. Thats it =)
