i just went through this. take a look at the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file for this line:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') you can either change it to: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA') or comment it out (i think that will work) and then rerun m4 on the file m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf and sendmail should now be accepting mail from outside of localhost.
