Is there something I need to configure in telnetd or sendmail to allow 
'outside' IP addresses to telnet to the mail server and get a 220 response?

When I 'telnet localhost 25' i get:

email# telnet localhost 25
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.xxxxxxxxx.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 email.xxxxxxxxx.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8; Mon, 12 May 2008 10:01:39 
-0400 (EDT)



But if I try the same thing from 'outside' the firewall I get:

%telnet email.xxxxxxxxxxxx.com 25
Trying 67.x.x.x...
Connected to email.xxxxxxxxxxx.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.



Certain servers are having problems sending to the server because they are not 
getting a 220 code back.  Most email is sent/received from the server no 
problem.  It has been running in production for over a year.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brad
