Okay, things that look interesting to me are:

Which shows that your machine accepted a connection to itself to send email,
and

Which seems to show that you are no longer accepting local connections.

This could either be because the daemon is no longer accepting local
connections, or possibly your firewall settings have changed disallowing
local connections.

You can check your firewall settings via:

ipchains -L

and you can check to ensure that your sendmail is listening for traffic via:

netstat -tap | grep smtp

Show us the output of those two commands.  If they both look good, then it
would have to be a sendmail configuration change, which I wouldn't be able
to help with (I use postfix).
