CentOS - May 2007 - Debugging sendmail

I have Centos 4 running on my server.  During bootup, it hangs on the 
starting of sendmail.  When I use the GUI interface to check what 
services are running, sendmail is shown to be running.  However, if I 
try a restart, it just hangs.

If I try to send mail with the php sendmail, it times out.

My Linux skills are limited, so I am not sure what steps I should follow 
to debug the problem.

Any suggestions are welcomed...

You may have a name resolution problem, check /etc/hosts ;
/etc/resolv.conf , proper nameserver delegation.
