From the linuxjournal article:
---quotation---
This machine has an address of 192.168.100.134 on the eth0 interface.
Once you have that address, edit the /etc/sendmail.cf file and configure
the sendmail dæmon to listen on the address.

# SMTP daemon options

O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA

change to

O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=192.168.100.134, Name=MTA

Once you have completed this task, save this file and restart the
sendmail dæmon using the rc script /etc/init.d/sendmail.
---quotation end---

That is bad bad bad. Don't edit the sendmail.cf! The risk to do
something wrong is much higher than using sendmail.mc, you won't be able
to tranport individual settings onto a different machine with different
setup (at least not without headaches), and - most important - you will
loose all changes by the sendmail init script on Fedora once you changed
the sendmail.mc as it automatically rebuilds the sendmail.cf from the
sendmail.mc!

Too it is wrong to exchange the localhost IP to the individual host
address! That will prohibit a proper running Sendmail daemon as he is
still no more listening on localhost. That will cost you a good part of
functions. Either comment out the DAEMON_OPTIONS line in the sendmail.mc
as documented in there or if you want to limit the daemon on a part of
your available IPs then add DAEMON_OPTIONS lines for each IP you want to
have Sendmail listening on.
