Need urgent help to get Sendmail running again

Hi,
I had a recent downtime on the mailserver I'm running due to remote location
and trouble with upgrading FreeBSD. I upgraded from 4.7 STABLE to the latest
4.11 with complete make world and new kernel, at first the machine didn't
come back up again due to a disk error, but now it's online again. However
I'm having big trouble getting Sendmail up and running normal again.

I used to have sendmail configured with Spamassassin and Spamass-Milter, but
I have now removed both of them from the .mc file and uninstalled both the
programs and startup files.

When the machine is rebooted I get the following errors:

pid 86 (sendmail), uid 0: exited on signal 11
pid 87 (sendmail), uid 0: exited on signal 11

Sendmail version 8.13.1

Here are the first lines from /var/log/maillog (server startup)

There seems to be a lot of messages waiting to be sent, Ie. from the forum I
run.

/var/spool/clientmqueue contains many messages.

Also, I can't get Sendmail to accept new messages for the people who are
users on this system. Mails I send from Ie. this gmail account do not reach
my account on the mailserver.I don't understand this.

MX record is fine.
local-host-names contain all hostnames on the system.
virtusertable is OK.

???

Anyone help greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Andreas
