  Subject: Very unusual behavior


  Last night I did a fresh install of FBSD 4.4. I got on the net and began CVSuping 4.5. during this I noticed an unusual sendmail error(thingy):

  Feb 22 01:55:22  sendmail[948]: g1M9tMj00948: from=<smtp2001soho@yahoo.com>, 

  size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=SMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=[217.226.84.195]

  Feb 22 12:14:40  sendmail[159]: starting daemon (8.11.6): SMTP+queueing@00:30:00

   

  Why the hell does this mean? Why did it do this? And how do I fix it?
