sendmail shouldn't listen on port 443. 

You might want to unplug the machine from the network and then: 

You could try: 

rpm -Va >& rpm.out

that will run a full rpm verify and show you all the files that don't
match the ones in the database. 

You can also run rootkit hunter: 

http://www.rootkit.nl/projects/rootkit_hunter.html

download the .tar.gz file, do 'rpmbuild -tb tkhunter*.tar.gz' and
install the resulting rpm, then do 'rkhunter --update' and 'rkhunter -c'

Good luck.
