Migrating from COL to RH

It was time anyway, but I'm now really going to get off
of my old Caldera server.

I don't do this very often, so I'm having a bit of trouble
with sendmail.  It's up, it runs, and it seems to be listening,
but outside connections are refused.  I cannot figure out why.

My firewall isn't doing it; there is nothing in the log about
port 25, and it reports all the Code Reds and such.  I've got
DAEMON=yes in the config file.  The output of 'ps' says it's
accepting connections.  The output of 'netstat -l -p' says
it really is listening on port 25, but telnet to the port
from elsewhere fails immediately (connection refused).  Telnet
from the same machine is okay.

What am I missing?

While I'm at it, the old machine ran majordomo 1.94.5, which
does not seem to be an option under RedHat.  Should I build
it myself, or is there an easy migration path to another
package?  I'm only running three or so low-volume lists.

Thanks,....
