That's still a bit of lacking in information.

Hmmm.  This looks like your Sendmail stops getting any data after a
while.  Could it be that you have some firewall that blocks packets
after a while? (After, for instance, a dynamic rule expires.)

Cool :) Yet another happy Postfix user.  I know a lot of people who
have found Postfix easier to configure and having no need for those
extra bits of Sendmail, use it happily for a long time, and then
forget all about mail servers.  Glad you got it working so quickly ;)

This doesn't look right.  After the 354 responce, the client should
immediatelly start writing the message to you.  Unless of course,
something is blocking the client.  If you are using some sort of
firewall, what is its configuration?  What rules does it use to pass
or block packets?
