I'm using stable. I've tried re-installing. I install exim and exim works fine(which is what I'm running now), but when I try to install sendmail, I get the same problem.

Are you using unstable? Try apt-get update, and reinstall sendmail (remove /var/cache/apt/archives/sendmail*, to make sure). I have my system all right after installing sendmail8.11+8.12 and libdb3 3.20-5. BTW, the new Sendmail can multi-thread; try to send email using "mail", and repeat it in a tight loop (eg: using Perl), say, for 250 times. Then netstat; you'd see that the mail server would open 250 smtp ports on the destination servers. Interesting... (espescially when your system grinds to a halt due to out of swapspace :-) There must be some (free) process accounting software out there...
