Sendmail on a new Freebsd6.2 Won't Send or Receive.

[Martin McCormick]

	I have just set up a new freeBSD6.2 system which should
be fully capable of sending and receiving mail via sendmail.
The processes are all running.  It acts like inetd.conf has the
ports closed, but there aren't any specifically for smtp.
/etc/services has smtp ports listed and all open like they
should be.

	If you telnet to port 25 either from another system or
from the localhost, the "connection refused" message is
immediate and no log entries in maillog are generated.

	The only entries being generated at all are routine
messages when the queue starts and messages that say that a
given message is deferred due to not being able to be delivered
so it appears to be stuck both directions.

	Any suggestions on what else to look at?

	Thank you.
