Yeah, sounds like it's not getting there.  What's in your
/etc/hosts.allow?  Have an entry like sendmail: ALL?

That may be all the problem is.

 [comment]I added this and didnt seem to make any difference.


Running a firewall on the linux box?  Can you telnet to it from the
outside?  Router set up to forward connections to the box on port 25?

 [comment] IPTables is not running and I am using a D-Link ethernet
router to NAT ports 110 and 25 to my RedHat box.

Did you change your client to use a name/password combo for outbound
mail?

 [comment] yes

You did this part right?  And restarted senmdail?

[comment] yes
