I rebooted and still get same "sendmail dead but pid file exists" message.

Did: [root@faxserver root]# ps ax | grep sendmail
and got:
 2077 ?        S      0:00 [sendmail.sendma]
 2093 ?        S      0:00 [sendmail.sendma]
 2141 pts/1    S      0:00 grep sendmail

What do you suggest now?  Thanks for all your help!

I don't see sendmail at startup nor any errors.

The last line in the /var/log/mail/errors file says:
Apr 18 03:42:22 faxserver sendmail[12327]: h3I7fJnP012327: SYSERR(root): hash 
map "generics": missing map file /etc/mail/genericstable.db: No such file or 
directory

How do we fix that?
Again....Thanks for all your help!
