Use the ps command to ensure sendmail is not running.  Use kill <pid>

Altering cf files directly is frowned upon.  I can't help you there.

$ netstat -naf inet

Make sure there is no sendmail listening (port 25 or 587).

Looks like you either have a botched cf file or there is some other daemon 
interference.  Is
this a new install?  What have you done/installed/configured relating to mail 
software? 
Rebuilt the system?  Compiled kernel?
