sendmail sending to syslogd

[Ted Roberts]

I've come across what appears to be a problem with running the syslogd and
sendmail.  The configuration is a SUN 4/110 or 4/260 running SUN OS4.0.1.
When we run syslogd, then execute sendmail, syslog receives repeated
messages consisting of the following three messages.  The dates remain the
same, so it is definitely the same messages being repeated.

--- messages received by syslogd ---
logmsg: pri 26, flags 0, from eds, msg May 31 15:46:30 sendmail[5241]: AA05241: from=root, size=5, class=0
Logging to FORW loghost
readfds = 0x38
got a message (1, 0x10)
cvthname(192.9.208.1)
logmsg: pri 26, flags 0, from eds, msg May 31 15:46:31 sendmail[5243]: AA05241: to=root, delay=00:00:03, stat=Sent
Logging to FORW loghost
readfds = 0x38
got a message (1, 0x10)
cvthname(192.9.208.1)
logmsg: pri 26, flags 0, from eds, msg May 31 15:46:30 sendmail[5241]: AA05241: message-id=<8905311946.AA05241 at eds.>
Logging to FORW loghost
readfds = 0x38
got a message (1, 0x10)
cvthname(192.9.208.1)
--- end of messages ---

The messages seem to be correctly delivered, I'm not sure why it wants to
repeatedly send them.  Any help as to why they're being generated would
help a great deal.

thanks in advance.
