Google may not accept it but my firewall is set to block port 25. I'm 
not sure how to investigate sendmail but I do see the following:

    [bobg at box9 ~]$ service sendmail status
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 155: /var/run/sendmail.pid:
    Permission denied
    sendmail/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: line 155: /var/run/sendmail.pid:
    Permission denied
     dead but pid file exists
    sm-client (pid  3063) is running.
    ..
    [bobg at box9 ~]$ su
     
    [root at box9 bobg]# service sendmail status
    sendmail (pid  3054) is running...
    sm-client (pid  3063) is running...

I guess about all that says is sendmail is running?
