Umm.....If you run "ps -axuww | grep sendmail" does it come back saying that it is "accepting connections on port 25"? Also, on one very very strange occasion, if I probed the machine as "localhost" port 25 was unavailable, but if I probed it as the IP (or name), port 25 was open. I rebooted and it came up fine. Anyway, I would just check and verify that sendmail is running. I expect that it crashed.
