Make sure that /var/spool/clientmqueue/sm-client.pid is owned by the
smmsp UID. It's probably best to kill off your sendmail clientmqueue
daemon, and then remove the pid file so that sendmail can recreate it
on the next restart. It's quite possible that the file that's there
has the wrong PID in it, so do something like this:
ps -auxww | grep 'Queue runner' | awk '{ print $2; }' | xargs kill
rm /var/spool/clientmqueue/sm-client.pid
make -f /etc/mail/Makefile start-mspq

If the sm-client.pid file has the wrong stuff in it, and the
clientmqueue process can't rewrite it, then it's quite likely that
you'll see effects something like you've observed. Doing the above
should fix the problem, but if it doesn't you need to find out what is
causing it to fall over. Sendmail is usually quite good at logging
reasons for giving up the ghost. What does /var/log/maillog have to
say?
Cheers,
Matthew
