Anybody with RH8.0 vanilla and sendmail success?

I have installed RH8.0 on two different computers in two different environments, replacing a previous RH7.2 setup. Sendmail was working fine in both cases, sending directly to the receiver's smtp server.
#1- RH8.0 keeps relaying through localhost. Anybody knows how to get around this?
#2- I have not been successful in sending mail from these two servers. Mail stays in mailq and I get "connection timed out" most of the time.

Both servers see their (external) dns and resolve every name if I ping. Web server works.

Help!!

Have you installed the RH8 version of the sendmail rpm?

I have a lot of missing files since my similar workstation upgrade and I put it down to RH8 being different enough to matter, newer gcc etc
so my server stays on 7.2 for the meantime...

Yes, I am using a 'vanilla' RH8.0
The server was 7.2 but I chose not to upgrade, since I didn't modify lots. I only transfered the aliases file and www directory.
So since I am doing an "out of the box" install, on two machines, and none work, I was wondering if anybody was successful.

No positive replies so far. Maybe the lucky ones are celebrating...

ha ha ha ha ha ha, OMG, that really made me laugh hard. Thanks.

Oh man, that is so funny.

Anywhere, I really don't have anything to add here, I wish I did, but I had to tell you that was very funny.

Um, here's some advice (figure I should say something constructive):
I'd drop sendmail and go with postfix. It's very similar, but makes so much more sense and is alot more "easy" to configure and setup.

Just my 2 cents.

Cool

In the default sendail.mc file there is a line you must comment out before m4ing the file...

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.
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

Did this. It lets sendmail listen for incoming mail. It does not change outgoing mail issue.
