It's unlikely that sendmail per se is the problem.  Actually, the oops
says that the application-context running when the oops occurred was
"python" (pid 2048).  I doubt changing to postfix would change anything,
here.

The crash appears to be in __getblk(), coming from ext3_getblk().

Bad disk?  Bad controller?  Bad memory?
