What does 'ifconfig lo0' say?
What does 'sockstat | grep :25' say?
What does 'ls -la /usr/libexec/sendmail/' say?
What does 'mount | grep /usr' say?
It sounds as if either:
* Your loopback interface has lost address 127.0.0.1
or:
* Some process other than a live sendmail instance has bound to port
25 on the loopback.
or:
* sendmail has somehow lost its setgid-ness
Cheers,
Matthew
