What do you have in /etc/hostname (or possibly /etc/HOSTNAME) and in 
/etc/hosts?

What is the output of "ls -l /var/run/sendmail.out.pid"?

Which user are you trying to run sendmail as?

I don't understand this answer.

Please tell us whether you have two sendmail processes running on the machine.  
One of them should be running in queueing mode only - that is, with options 
similar to:

sendmail -bd -ODeliveryMode=queueonly -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in

the other should be running in delivery mode:

sendmail -q15m

Please let us know whether "ps" shows these two processes running.
