Failure sending mail within the same network

[tarn]

Hi,
I have (lets say) 2 Linux servers [box1, box2] on the same piece of network (but both have more than one interface), I am trying to send mail FROM box1 TO user1@box2, with sendmail -v user1@box2 I get:

user1@box2... Connecting to box2. via esmtp...
user1@box2... Deferred: Connection refused by box2.

And in the mailq I get:

[root@box1 etc]# mailq
/var/spool/mqueue (1 request)
----Q-ID---- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient------------
g5Q9oDR26051 4 Wed Jun 26 10:50 ausername
(Deferred: Connection refused by box2.)
ausername@box2

Any idea where I'm going wrong ?
box2 is listining but apears to be on 127.0.0.1 not eth0

netstat -l

Problem solved ......

Just changed the following option in sendmail.cf

FROM
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA

TO
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=192.168.1.2, Name=MTA

Now all works.
