TWIMC,



From: http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2003-07.html

"A successful attack against an unpatched sendmail system will not leave any
messages in the system log. However, on a patched system, an attempt to
exploit this vulnerability will leave the following log message:

  'Dropped invalid comments from header address'"

The advisory doesn't say which log this message would be found in.

HTH.

Bill
