In a new Solaris build, we go this problem about sendmail. It was connecting on sendmail port 25 only if hostname was localhost or 127.0.0.1. It was not listening on all the other IPs plumbed on the box. Here's what I did to make it listen on all IPs:
Stop sendmail
svcadm disable sendmail
cd /etc/mail
chmod 600 sendmail.cf
Search for this line:
O DaemonPortOptions=NAME=NoMTA4, Family=inet, Addr=127.0.0.1
Remove , Addr=127.0.0.1 so that the line now reads:
O DaemonPortOptions=NAME=NoMTA4, Family=inet
chmod 444 sendmail.cf
Start Sendmail
svcadm enable sendmail
Retest by doing
telnet hostname_of_server 25
If it still doesn't work, do this:
svccfg -s sendmail setprop config/local_only=false
svcadm refresh sendmail
svcadm restart sendmail

Hello Vikram,
Thanks for quick solution you provided yes your tip worked for me and i can able to configure my mailer account.
