HI,
Check the below things on your server.
1) diskspace
2) mailq
3) netstat -ntlp |grep :25 |grep tcp
4) telnet on port 25 from server as well as from client
5) ps auxxww |grep sendmail
################you should get output like below###########################
root 794 0.0 0.0 4320 648 pts/2 S+ 13:13 0:00 grep sendmail
root 21186 0.0 0.2 10876 2156 ? Ss May23 0:00 sendmail:

smmsp 21195 0.0 0.1 8192 1636 ? Ss May23 0:00 sendmail:

5) check maillog properly definitely it will throw some messages
6) check /var/log/messages .
Check the maillog otherwise increase the sendmail loglevel in the
sendmail.mc file to 10 and restart sendmail.
Line to be changed in sendmail.mc to increase log level.
dnl define(`confLOG_LEVEL', `9')dnl
