First Things First I guess!
Check
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc

for a few lines like this
dnl # The following causes sendmail to only listen on the IPv4 loopback address
dnl # 127.0.0.1 and not on any other network devices. Remove the loopback
dnl # address restriction to accept email from the internet or intranet.
dnl #
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Addr=##.###.##.##, Name=MTA')dnl
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl

Make sure that the host is *not* set to loop back

Thankyou, My sendmail.mc has no "DAEMON_OPTIONS" line in it at all. Do I need to add them ??
