It's unlikely that sendmail per se is the problem. Actually, the oops
says that the application-context running when the oops occurred was
"python" (pid 2048). I doubt changing to postfix would change anything,
here.
The crash appears to be in __getblk(), coming from ext3_getblk().
Bad disk? Bad controller? Bad memory?
