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,
