Boy, it's hard to tell from this description. First the basics:
A segfault occurs when a program tries to access a memory location that it
is not entitled to access. Usually this means a programming error in the
code, but if you are using the same versions of pinea and sendmail (it is
undlear which of them is segfaulting) that you always did, the code is
unlikety to have acquired a new bug of this sort.
So ... what are the possibilities?
1. Did you end up adding memory to the system? It might be a bad location in
memory. The usual BIOS tests of memory aren't good enough to detect all bad
memory.
2. When you added the URL, what configuration files did you change on the
system? Might one of them be involved? For example, did you change
sendmail.cf? Did you make any changes to your DNS records (assuming the host
runs BIND)? Did you change the system's hostname or domain name?
3. When the system segfaults, it dumps an image of memory to disk in a file
called "core". You can examine that file, using a debugger, to find out what
caused the problem ... though I haven't done this in so long I can't
remember the procedure well enough to instruct you.
As to sending mail ... how did you send this message? Copy the files you
want to send us to floppy, move them to whatever system you sent this
message from, and attach or insert them that way. A copy of the gargantuan
and unreadable sendmail.cf won't be a big help at this point, though, unless
it is a file you changed.
