Try

/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart

That should do the trick, I hope. Good luck

I noticed a heavy load someone trying to get in.

I suggest blocking this
for example in your hosts.deny

ALL: 80.60.170.56 (the one who nearly brought my raq to its knees)

Take care ~!

This is definitely scarely. I did notice someone trying to send emails through my server too but since I have the POP-before-SMTP enabled and deny all relays, it sure help.
