Sendmail, not allowing connections in to check email

Hi all,

A new Fedora2 server, latest updates/installs for all
Trying to setup sendmail and have this problem;
(Using Webmin, btw)
Sendmail version 8.12.11, config V10/Berkeley

Installed and running with no problem
Getting it to work is another matter LOL

Sendmail is accepting email for a test user I set up

Sendmail is NOT allowing the user to log on and get said mail from a remote computer. Instead it gives a 'refused connection' message.

I know its something simple no doubt, but please help.

How do I troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance!

How, exactly, is this user trying to log on and get their mail?

Sendmail does not expose a POP or IMAP interface (indeed, it does not even have them); you have to use another program like ipop or Courier IMAP to allow remote retrieval of email.
