The latest patch clusters are always available from sun.com.

In the meantime, starting sendmail is the least of your worries.  Your
machine was *rooted*.  Turning off SMC Server will not undo that.  Your
safest course of action is to reinstall the machine cleanly.  Keep in mind
that your /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files were probably stolen by whoever
rooted your machine, and that person may well be running a password cracker
against them at this moment.
