This is usually caused by the entry in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf with:
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA
change this to:
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA
and restart sendmail with /etc/init.d/sendmail reload.
Do a netstat -an | grep LISTEN and look for
tcp   0  0 0.0.0.0:25        0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
