There should be two sendmail processes. One running "/usr/lib/sendmail -Ac -q15m" and another one running "/usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q15m".
The second one is the one listening on tcp/25 but isn't running on your machine for some reason. Check your configuration files in /etc/mail. You might also try reverting to the default, out of the box, ones.
