Try telnetting or pinging 127.1 - if you can't reach it, that's your problem.
exmh wants to get to the sendmail port on localhost, and if it can't will
do exactly what you describe. Happened to me.

Was yours quietly pretending to send all the mail and then days later you
found out none of that important mail was sent after all? I HATE that!
