Problems with SMTP and Nagios

Yesterday I built a new sendmail.cf file and added certain features such as 
spam blocking. I also got the .cf file upgraded to the latest v.8.12.7. 
Since those upgrades/changes were made I'm getting PROBLEM-Notifications 
from Nagios (via mail) like this:

Subject: ** PROBLEM alert - Myserver/SMTP is CRITICAL **

Notification Type: PROBLEM

Service: SMTP
Host: Myserver
Address: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
State: CRITICAL

Date/Time: Wed Feb 26 12:03:14 CET 2003

Additional Info:

Socket timeout after 10 seconds

In the /var/log/maillog I see the following when Nagios is reporting problems:

Feb 26 12:19:22 myserver sendmail[53651]: h1QBI13F053651: 
mynagios.domain.com [212.125.232.195] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN 
during connection to MTA

Anyone seen this before and perhaps have a way to fix it?

Thanks,
Andreas
