A "netstat -vant" should reveal sendmail listening on all interfaces (0.0.0.0:25). Have you modified your firewall (if one exists) to allow incoming connections to tcp/25? I see you're on DSL, but I'm not sure whether it's commercial or residential. If residential, are you sure SWBell isn't filtering out incoming port 25?
