sendmail (version 8.12.8-4) problem

Dear all,

Under redhat 9, I install the sendmail with version 8.12.8-4, It can receive
emails from the users of the same server but cannot receive from those of
other servers. Why? Note that the service have already enabled in both the
ipop and the imap file. Please give us possible suggestion, thank.

Regards,
Simon

Is your sendmail process listening on interfaces other than lo?

See if you have a line in your .mc file like:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
Amend it and regenerate the .cf file.
