Thanks for everyone who responded.  The problem turned out to be that my machine was only listening for e-mail on the loopback address.  Here is what I did to fix the problem:

1. vi sendmail.mc
2. commented out "DAEMON_OPTIONS('Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1,Name=MTA')"
3. executed m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf (not sure if I had to do this step or not..)
4. ps -eaf | grep sendmail (to get the PID)
5. kill -hup PID

Volia!  I'm now recieving e-mail.

Thanks again everyone!

Greg
