And to get sendmail to listen on other interfaces, you have to edit
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc and scroll towards the bottom and look for this
line..

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

Either put a dnl # in front of that line to listen to all interfaces, or
change the Addr=127.0.0.1 part to the interface (IP) that you want it to
listen to (like an internal IP if that is what your on).

Restart sendmail and that should help.

BTW, does this person have a registered domain name on his machine and
dns points to it as well as having an MX record for it?  Or is it just a
domain he/she has and just wants email to be from that domain?  If the
later, that won't work as your domain isn't registered, so therefore no
one will recognize it and reject it.  You would have to setup sendmail
to use your smtp server and use it.
