[olug] Sendmail is making a fool of me.... help

I could only find the DaemonPortOptions=Port, it says:
# SMTP daemon options

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

Should I set the Addr=0.0.0.0 ?

If I modify sendmail.cf do I need to do anything more than restart the
daemon?

For those of you following along: This distro is: Redhat 7.1, Sendmail
version 8.11.2
