What version of sendmail has produced the log file you're trying to
process?

I am sorry.  I intended to ask you to send a small piece of your
sendmail log file.  Not the Lire output.  Excuse me for being not clear.
So: please sent a small piece of your sendmail log file, so that I can

Bye,

Joost
