[SLUG] Sendmail SNAFU / Postfix fixed

Alright, now that I have Postfix under control, I am finding problems with
sendmail. I found some commands to put in the main.cf that will check the
validity of senders before processing so they can't fake being local.
However, I checked later and /var/log/maillog shows sendmail is trying to
process mail.

Jul 12 06:16:36 web1 sendmail[3962]: i6CABZcp003962:
to=lpo8054501@aol.com,lulerpod@aol.com,luvablepc@aol.com,lukycharms77@aol.co
m, [more], ctladdr=nobody (99/99), delay=00:05:01, xdelay=00:05:00,
mailer=relay, pri=15039491, relay=localhost.managedwebservices.com.
[127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with
localhost.managedwebservices.com.

I checked /etc/init.d/sendmail status and it reports being down as expected.
So if it is down, how can it show up in today's log? Can multiple instances
of sendmail be running on a system? How can I verify this?

Thanks,

Steve
