Thanks to Sheila the first problem is solved. My second problem is now I
(root) am getting a ton load of mail from the Mailer-Daemon. How do I stop
this? Should I delete /var/spool/mail/root and touch it again?

The permisiions on /var and /var/spool are the key, you need to change them
to
755 then sendmail should start.
