less easy question

OK I've added the following to /etc/mail/relay-domains:
192.168
.mydomain.dom

I restarted the daemon.
ps -ax show sendamil accepting connections
top shows it running

fromm other box I get :
An smtp error occured
SMTP CONNECT
connection refused.

port 25 on the sendmail box is unreachable w / ping and nmap sees it as closed????
is it a firewall prob???
please help
TIA

It seems to be a firewall problem. Perhaps you should give us the ipf.rules you use or your config file for ipfw to see what's wrong.

pf.conf

block in all
pass in on dc0 inet proto tcp from any to any port 25
pass in on dc0 inet proto tcp from any to any port 22
pass in on dc0 inet proto tcp from any to any port 80
pass in on dc0 inet proto tcp from any to any port 443
pass in on dc0 inet proto tcp from 192.168.2.0 to any port 20
pass in on dc0 inet proto tcp from 192.168.2.0 to any port 21
pass out all

OK I think my firewall is correct. According to someone I spoke with sendmail is configged to listen on the loopback only. (By default)

Anyone know how I config it to listen on the NIC address?

sendmail docs.
