Cool you got a liquid cooled system running. Nice. 

Eh I see you are having some problems here. 

I may have missed it before but some details would be helpful like what
distro are you running what kernel and what base packages/src's have you
installed. I saw a little further down the thread some one said your
information was unhelpful and I have to agree it is rather incomplete.

Not a SE guru you might want to locate your SE config (mine
was /etc/selinux/config) file and change it to say "SELINUX=disabled"
w/o quotes. Then if your system still freezes the cause is not SELINUX.

It definitely is or maybe procmail.

Again a little more detail is necessary, are you doing local delivery
through procmail?  

This is a pretty good sendmail alias how to by HP that explains it
pretty clearly. Check it and see if this is what you want to do.

Is the mail you are getting on the same box as your are using evolution
on? In which case you are loged in as user X and trying to read user Y's
mail. I have never done this but I would go and try to set up symbolic
link or better pop user Y's and or user X's mail. Anyone else have any
ideas on that? 

Also what version of Sendmail are you using HINT　HINT!

Have you tried installing any IMAP software like dovecot or Cyrus and
that did not work... 


Chowning files is not the answer in sendmail I can assure you of that.
