According to CM <cristim () ISJMMSERVER ISJMM UBM RO>:
Is it normal to have a Sendmail 8.11.0 listening at ports 25 AND 587? (The
587 bothers me) ?

did you see RELEASE_NOTES from sendmail?

--------------------------- cut here --------------------------------------
        sendmail implements RFC 2476 (Message Submission), e.g., it can
                now listen on several different ports.  Use:
                O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MSA, Port=587, M=E
                to run a Message Submission Agent (MSA); this is turned
                on by default in m4-generated .cf files; it can be turned
                off with FEATURE(`no_default_msa').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

if you think that something is wrong just edit your .mc and reconfig
sendmail.cf.
