1) With what arguments did you start sendmail?
2) Did you remember to rebuild sendmail.cf after the upgrade to 8.8.3?
3) How many SMTP connections to your machine does 'netstat -f inet'
   show?  What TCP state are they in?
4) Anything interesting result from 'fgrep sendmail /var/log/*'?
5) Use 'ps -l' instead of 'ps -ux'.  What are all those sendmail
   processes sleeping on (WCHAN)?
