It is fine - I have no DNS problem...

Yes i did whatever you said - the result is as
follows:

[root at sg root]# netstat -an|grep LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:* 
             LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:25            0.0.0.0:* 
             LISTEN
unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     1265
  /dev/gpmctl
unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     1311
  /tmp/.font-unix/fs7100


Now you have asked the next step to follow:   
So should i go for sendmai.cf updation?

Thanks again.
