    Hello, I installed 2.0.2 this week on my internal lan to look at sendmail, and
    spent today trying to figure out why I could only listen on localhost.
     
    After going down a wrong path with the new configs in rc.conf, and playing with
    hosts.allow, I finally found

    /usr/share/sendmail/cf/netbsd-proto.mc and copied it to my-netbsd-proto.mc and
    added the line

    DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, address=192.168.0.50, Name=MTA, Modifiers=0')dnl

    under a similar line about 127.0.0.1 ( copied that line and pasted it in, and
    put in the 192 address ), and then "make" that file.

    So now it seems to work, but is this the correct thing to do? Could an
    explanation of this step not be in a faq or the guide or something? The only
    clue I found that tipped me off, was a faq at sendmail.org about a redhat issue.

    Thanks,
    Richard
