   You don't send mail via POP, you _receive_ mail via the Post Office
Protocol. You send mail via SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). What you
describe implies your server is no longer running, something I've found
routine on RaQ3's (/etc/rc.d/init.d/restart frequently fails to restart the
server on RaQ3's, in my experience, and the script for the PkgMaster package
uses restart). This also, BTW, means you're not getting any mail from the
outside of your box, something you need to correct immediately for obvious
reasons.

   SSH into your box, su to root, and:

cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
./sendmail stop
<<wait a few seconds...twiddle thumbs...whistle a little...>>
./sendmail start
