Okay. Your sendmail is only listening for connection coming from the local 
host.

You'll have to change the sendmail.cf file to fix this. If you know how to 
fiddle with the .cf file, or perhaps preferrably the .mc file, drop the 
DAEMON_OPTIONS line, which specify to only listen on the localhost 
address.
