It may also be that sendmail is lot listing on his internal network
intreface.

By default sendmail only listens on the loopback interface (127.0.0.1),
and it needs to be reconfigured to listen to any other interface.

Check in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc for a line 
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl


Comment that out, and then restart sendmail.

Hope this helps.
