[ale] Sendmail problem update!

[charlie]

hello,

  well for all of you who are helping me track down this nasty error, I finally
got a chance to try testing remotely, and yes it hung the machine on this
side too.  I tried telneting, pinging, and ftping into my machine, but nothing
worked.  The telnet didn't even come back with a connection refused message.
Ping just sat there (as did all of them), and when I went back to my machine
to see if it was hung, much to my dismay it was!  The screen saver had kicked
in, and I couldn't get it off the screen because the keyboard wasn't 
responding.

One of my friends suggested just reinstalling.  He says that there is something
terribly wrong with my machine, and the best way is just to start over.  I'm
not so sure if I want to commit to this, but if I must I must.  So before I
commit linux suicide does anybody have any ideas!!  I probably won't be able to
do this for a couple of weeks or until everything stops happenning so fast! :)

thanks
charlie
