Question : Can't Get External Mail

I can send email via Webmin > Sendmail, and get it via MS Outlook and POP3, but I can't get any mail from external sources. I suspect it's the sendmail.cf file.

Following the docs, I commented out the line "DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')" in sendmail.mc, and then compiled the .mc file as follows:

m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf

However, it seems to me that sendmail.cf should actually reside in /etc/mail/ rather than directly under /etc/.

Is this correct? I'm having an awful time trying to get Sendmail to accept mail from anywhere other than locally!

I think all I did was keep your head in the game. After all, there's nothing time and money can't fix!
