It appears to be in /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/src/conf.c where the troublesome additions are: #ifdef LOG if (LogLevel > 3) syslog(LOG_WARNING, "gethostbyaddr() failed for %.100s/n", inet_ntoa(ia)); #endif Now I don't C much, but I see no reason why they decided to log to both warning *and* whatever else, usually info, is set for the mail facility.
