RH 7.1's sendmail configuration by default only allows incoming
connections on port 25 from localhost.

Have a look at /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, find the following line:

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

and make it read as follows:

dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

then run 'make' from /etc/mail, and 'service sendmail restart'

and you'll be good to go.
