Looks nasty.  It's about this time I pull out my swiss army chainsaw
of diagnostics, strace, and use it to view the system calls that the
programs are making while they're hung.

I'd add a "f" to the ps listing; eg `ps fx' to see a proper tree of
the processes.  It *looks* like the sendmail command isn't returning
at all.  If it is a problem with the sendmail process, you can attach
it with `strace -p NNN' (where NNN is the PID of the sendmail process)
to see what's going on, in absence of any other helpful log messages.

Which is your rc_mta_command setting?
