Are you talking about them having problems reading mail, or sending  
mail?

If it's the former, the change to sendmail is not relevant, as  
reading mail is handled by your POP3 daemon.  Check your mailserver  
logfiles for more information, and ask more questions here if you  
don't find anything obvious there.  Of course, you'll need to quote  
parts of these log files or provide client-side error messages if you  
want us to have enough information to provide more specific advice.
