If I am on the LAN and perform a "telnet 192.168.1.254 25" sendmail responds.  But anywhere outside of the LAN I cannot get sendmail to respond.  I can telnet to it just fine remotely as well as Ftp.  I am using PPP since I have a PPPoE connection.

   First, what are your sendmail related variables in /etc/rc.conf?

   Second. Is your computer configured to be a firewall? Does it permits 
anyone to connect to port 25 from outside?
