Sendmail error on apt-get upgrade



Howdy Group!

Whenever I try and do an apt-get upgrade It ask if I want to install a
new package, I check and its still sendmail; So I yet yes and continue
to install it. Well it asks for me to start sendmail and I say yes, then
it craps out during the start.

Can anyone explain?

I've attached the log, but here's the last bit:

Thank you for your help!!
