Not sure about the gui interface but you may have stopped sshd  try
command line to see what's listening on port 22:
for ex: netstat  -nlp |grep 22  you should see sshd not sendmail
as process for port 22

Try command line stopping sendmail (service sendmail stop) then try a
2nd ssh session to see if you can still get in.

You may also want to use bitvise instead of putty.

Problem was solved by re-enabling sendmail via the gui interface. Will explore 
further and will post any interesting results.
