I am using the SMTP service from my ISP. Mail server is running.
This is what I got in the /var/log/maillog..
Okay, things that look interesting to me are:
Sep21, it worked...it didn't work on 10/06 and 10/07
Sep 21 08:45:01 cscmail sendmail[24046]: h8LDj1eK024046: from=<dislam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, size=1106, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<20030921134501.GA24039@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] Sep 21 08:45:01 cscmail sendmail[24044]: h8LDj1JX024044: to=lindseyc@xxxxxxxxxx, ctladdr=dislam (500/500), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30322, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (h8LDj1eK024046 Message accepted for delivery)
Which shows that your machine accepted a connection to itself to send email, and
<snip>
Oct 7 09:08:44 cscmail sm-msp-queue[27251]: h97Dj1I9027083: to=dislam, ctladdr=dislam (500/500), delay=00:23:43, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=120223, relay=[127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]
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).

Just to add to that - it probably has nothing to do with your problems, but it will maybe screw you around later - fix the hosts.allow, you're missing a ':' somewhere.
