Well, better do it not this way as it will stop sendmail from listening
on localhost. Either disable this daemon binding by putting a "dnl" in
front of the line so sendmail will listen on all devices and IPs or put
there an additional line with just another IP on which sendmail shall
listen. You can put there as many daemon options lines as you want/need.
