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,
