I am running on solaris :( if it makes a difference.

I'm not sure, but it sounds like something else is using / listening on
the socket which is preventing Sendmail from doing so.

Try doing a netstat to see if something else is using the socket.

Grant. . . .

Here is what I get from doing a netstat:

TCP: IPv4

Local Address Remote Address Swind Send-Q
Rwind Qecv-Q State
sune27.ssh 163.xxx.xxx.xxx.1476 48928 0

Active UNIX domain sockets
(I'll type that out if its helpful but its just a bunsh of Hex
addresses it seems and a couple other things like /tmp/mysql.sock and /
tmp/,X11-unix/X0.)

I did notice that there seems to be quite a bit of repetition in the
above table but I don't know how to interpret it. Thanks for the help.
