This was mentioned in the release notes, but perhaps it was in an
earlier version instead of 7.2. You need either to modify /etc/sendmail.cf
directly or make the corresponging change in sendmail.mc file and
regenerate sendmail.cf -- then restart sendmail in either case.
In sendmail.cf, comment out (wiht #) this line:
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA
or find this section in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
-----
dnl This changes sendmail to only listen on the loopback device 127.0.0.1
dnl and not on any other network devices. Comment this out if you want
dnl to accept email over the network.
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
----
and comment out (put "dnl " at the start of the line) the DAEMON_OPTIONS
line and generate a new sendmail.cf as described at the beginning of the
.mc file.
