hi,
i found the following log entry:

Nov 10 02:05:01 gnom5 sendmail[3913]: lAA14tZ9003913:  
from=<Sdunaycef (at mark) myfirstmail.com>, size=27676, class=0, nrcpts=1,  
msgid=<2B34FADC.336B0E30 (at mark) myfirstmail.com>, proto=SMTP, daemon=MTA,  
relay=localhost [222.255.31.214] (may be forged)
Nov 10 02:05:17 gnom5 sendmail[4450]: lAA14tZ9003913:  
to=wburmester (at mark) textile-pressing.de, delay=00:00:19, xdelay=00:00:00,  
mailer=esmtp, pri=58770, relay=mail.textile-pressing.de.  
[85.182.255.114], dsn=5.7.1, stat=User unknown

none of them is my ip or domain ... but 222.255.31.21 resolves to  
localhost ...

;; ANSWER SECTION:
214.31.255.222.in-addr.arpa. 78975 IN   PTR     localhost.

is this the trick (together with "localhost RELAY" in sendmail  
access)? I can't believe ...
how can i configure sendmail to stop that?
