Rigoberto... Judging from your other comments in post:
  Message-ID: <20030510220529.3053.qmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Quoted below:

If what you mean by `I already had that' is:
  dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1

Then sendmail IS NOT prevented from  listing on port 25.  
The `dnl' is like a comment (##) in sendmail.mc so having dnl in
front DEACTIVATES.

The Default as shipped is

   DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

which DOES prevent sendmail from listening to anything but 127.0.0.1
(loop back)
