>From what I've seen, the addresses that get logged are the addresses the
mail was getting sent *to*, which personally I don't find as usefull as if
it would log the addresses that it was coming from.  Unfortunately, from
what I can tell, if sendmail is rejecting the mail for whatever reason, the
only address logged is the recipient (well, it also logs a relay, but you
don't get a senders address).  Only real way to tell what the rejection was
for and where it came from is to grep through the mail log for reject.
