Question sendmail : connect local host (brocken)

hi there

I've got a strange problem with a webserver box (suse linux 7.2). My MTA is sendmail, and when I tried manually send a mail.

Sendmail -v "user@something" < /etc/hosts

The Server tried
"simon@localhost... Connecting to local..." but nothing happend and the system hold on.

This happend to every mailadresse.

Incomming mails from an other server stay in the mque and won't send to the local user.

why could this happen? What's wrong? I don't see the solutions for this problem.

BTW webmin gives in the mque list a description to this holded mails: " operations system error"

thanks for your help!

best regrards,
mrsaint
