Sendmail error dsn=4.0.0 stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

I am at a loss to what is causing my issue but when trying to send a mail from my server i see this in my maillog: > Oct 16 12:11:19 MYSERVER sendmail: v9GBBJxD063109: > to=myemail@address.com, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, > xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=60384, relay=[127.0.0.1] > [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by > [127.0.0.1] From the research i've done it was thought the issue was a global writable file in the /etc/mail folder but i dont see one in there. Anyone know what else to look at?
