Found some odd log file entries while combating SOBIG.e

This first entry shows one instance of receiving the virus.  It has
both sendmail accepting the message and sendmail delivering the message.
I also pasted the header of the message. Pretty normal.

These entries do not have a log file entry for sendmail accepting the
message for delivery.  Only sendmail delivering the message.  I included
1 header

I tried grep the log file for the smtp id's in all instances.  I sent
mail from yahoo, my client, pine on the mail server and a machine that
lived on the same subnet.  All have two entries in the log file.  Has
anyone else seen the single entry in their logs?  I also grep'ed -20 and
looked at the lines nearby.  The 10.10.50.25 is the firewall and shows
if nothing else they came from the outside.

Thanks,
