Hi,

If you want sendmail to listen on both local loopback interface and the public IP, you should use:
Code:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl

Looks like sendmail is having trouble binding to port 25. You might want to check with netstat and make sure that nothing else is bound to that port.

Fixed.

to : define(`SMART_HOST', `hostname')dnl

Working Fine now.
