Hi Andrew,

I have had this problem once too. What you can do is setup a cronjob to 
restart sendmail once in a while. Say every hour, this way you are sure that 
sendmail keeps running or is down minimal time.

I have never really solved it. But when i had to restore the box i installed 
it myself and never had the error anymore.
