Description of problem:
I dont understand very well why this has disappeared from the default
sendmail.mc configuration file but i think there should be a line
'Cwlocalhost.localdomain' at the end of it. Without this line, [and once
sendmail listen on other-than-localhost-ip adress, ] sendmail is unable to
receive mail from outside.. If you dont want to re-add this line, then *at
least* add i comment so that people will know what to do. 

And by the way, this comment in sendmail.mc is absolutly wrong (or at least "no
more true") : 


dnl # NOTE: binding both IPv4 and IPv6 daemon to the same port requires
dnl #       a kernel patch

Comment 1 Florian La Roche 2003-12-11 13:54:45 UTC
C{w}localhost.localdomain is in my sendmail.cf and the comment
about needing a kernel patch is also gone in the newest rpm.

Thanks a lot for your feedback. Newest rpm is on
