my bad. i forgot about solaris having a symlink for that. to confirm the permissions on ../devices/pseudo/mm@0:null were already 666? if so why did you run chmod 666? If not what were the permissions befored you fixed it.
make sure the hostname has a line in /etc/hosts for fqdn and short name.
check this command
check-hostname- check if sendmail can determine the system's fully-qualified host name
one more thing. The title of the OP is incorrect. This is not a "terminal error". it's a sendmail error
