How I "turn-on" e-mail?

[Bob Sinbuzz]

About 2 years ago,
I tinkered with sendmail.

I remember that I edited files and then typed make.

Make would then read my edited files and then generate others and
then sendmail would react to the generated files.

Is this recollection correct?

Where do I specify that sendmail will listen on other devices
besides localhost??
