The error message suggests that you're running out of swapspace. Do
you have excessive numbers of sendmail processes running, perhaps due
to someone mail-bombing your server?
There have been security holes fixed in sendmail since 8.12.8, and
8.12.11 is the most current version. Some of the fixes have been
backported to FreeBSD 4.8, (that's what the p2 means), but I'm not sure
whether your version is completely up-to-date.
