Found out it was a firewall issue and that is open now. though my 
problem has gone from connection refused to:
Feb 27 08:22:04 web1 sendmail[85505]: j1MIj4DI065443: <...> 
delay=4+19:37:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=22920813, 
relay=bhost1.broadjam.net., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Operation timed 
out with bhost1.broadjam.net.

is there a timeout that I can set in sendmail to set a longer wait time 
on this?

my flags in my rc.conf are:

sendmail_enable="YES"
sendmail_flags="-bd -q30m" # -bd is pretty mandatory.

I am in a bit of a panic because my mail queue is starting to fill up 
and I need to get these messages out....

thanks,
ken;
