sendmail-cf package is already installed...

[Rajendra]

Hi,

Try this :-

There are other MTAs that use send mail on the back end.
#apt-get purge postfix

#apt-get purge exim4

After that you can check you services list via System -> Administration -> Services
  And If there is still a MTA listed in your services list then uncheck it
Then try to restart/start it.

Check whether the port 25 is open or not using,

#netstat -ntlp |grep 25

You need to check system logs after trying to restart the sendmail
service the mail log will not
give us exact idea as why the sendmail service is not starting.

The port can not be opened using IPTables.

You should have an application running on the system which runs on
specific port. Try to restart the sendmail service on the system and
monitor the system logs and mail logs at the particular time, which
should give us idea to investigate the issue.
