edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

comment out the line that reads:

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

then:

"m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf"

Do this as root.

sendmail in RH8.0 access denied

Make sure these two lines are in your sendmail.cf

O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=<yourIP>, NAME=MTA

This will allow localhost delivery and the IP of the NIC card receiving connections. Once you update this in sendmail.cf run

/etc/init.d/sendmail restart
