I would make sure sendmail is running is daemon mode. Thats the only way it
will accept connections on port 25. Also are you trying to use your box as the
relay or another mail server. If you are trying to use your box you may need
to allow the other domain to relay. Again these are only things I would be
able to tell if you give some more info.
