I would suspect spaming through your system.  Run mailq and see what it
says.
http://www.sendmail.org/ has lots of info about configuring sendmail to deny
such relaying....

Also, you might want to look in /var/spool/mqueue and open a few files to
see what is actually occering and figure out why your server is agreeing to
relay it.
