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.
