Can you paste the complete output for the below command.

Code:
 
mailx -vvv -s "test" xxx_xxxh@xxx.com < /dev/null

Still no luck
Code:
:/# mailx -vvv -s "test from zone" xxxx@xxx.com < /dev/null
xxxx@xxx.com... Connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay...
xxxx@xxx.com... Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

But I am suspecting some package corruption. Not sure, if this can be issue

Code:
:/# grep localhost /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost
::1     localhost
:/# grep mail /etc/hosts
:/# grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
# DNS for hosts lookups, otherwise it does not use any other naming service.
# "hosts:" and "services:" in this file are used only if the
hosts:      dns files
# before searching the hosts databases.
:/#

Something strange, sendmail does not work on any of the NGZ

Can you add mailhost to /etc/hosts with blockedcontent.
Code:
blockedcontent       blockedcontent      mailhost

Restart sendmail and try sending a mail with below
Code:
mailx -vvv -s "test from zone" xxxx@xxx.com < /dev/null

Also, are you using DNS in you environment, if yes then we need to generate new sendmail.cf and submit.cf files to use blockedcontent as the relay for sending mails, otherwise remove dns from the hosts alias in /etc/nsswitch.conf file and again restart sendmail and try a test mail.

Do paste the outputs.

Vishal
