The usual reason is that sendmail isn't running. Does ps give you
a "sendmail: accepting connections" entry?
What version of sendmail are you running? Is it built
with tcpwrappers support (I don't remember when this changed).
If you have tcpwrappers (libwrap) support, try adding this
to /etc/hosts.allow:
-----
# in 7.x, sendmail is compiled with libwrap support so the
# following line will be needed.
sendmail: ALL
-----
Did you make the DAEMON_OPTIONS change mentioned in the release
notes? Your sendmail.cf should *NOT* have this line:
---
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA
---
If it does, you can either delete it or change the .mc file from
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
to:
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
and rebuild sendmail.cf.
