I think it's not sendmail that's blocking the connection, otherwise it
should print something like this when telnetting into:

telnet uucp.yamame.org 25
Connected to uucp.yamame.org
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

What he is getting is this:
telnet uucp.yamame.org 25
rying 203.216.22.19...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

prove me wrong.
