New Re: Sendmail on Linux II -- the sequel - I FIGURED IT OUT.
I found the problem ... I logged into the smtp service using telnet.

using: telnet localhost 25 -- everything worked fine.
using: telnet xyz.com 25 -- I got 550 5.0.0 Access denied when I did anything.

The problem -- I hadn't removed the /etc/hosts.allow & /etc/hosts.deny files.

Once I did it happily talked to any host that wanted to send me mail.

Duh !!

New Congrats! Thanks for letting us know the solution.
New host.allow and host.deny are there for a reason
read up on tcp wrappers and use it.
