Any ideas?


Maybe there was a sendmail process running that didn't die off completely...?

sendmail does not write directly to maillog. It uses the syslogfacility. Even if there was still a sendmail process running, the messagesshould be written to the maillog file if the logs were rotated correctlyand syslogd is restarted.
