After upgrading several machines running 2.0.1-RELEASE
from sendmail 8.6.12 to sendmail 8.8.4 I've found that logging
has stopped but just events from sendmail.
(NOTE: it worked find with 8.6.12)

Poked around quite a bit and could not find anything in the
8.8.4 distribution to explain it. Since I had a machine with
2.2-961014-SNAP+SMP I compiled 8.8.4 and logging is
working - go figure -

Has anyone run into this problem - or - could make a suggestion?

Here is my syslogd.conf

*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit          /dev/console
*.notice;kern.debug;lpr,auth.info;mail.crit     /var/log/messages
*.err                                           root
*.notice;auth.debug                             root
*.alert                                         root
*.emerg                                         *
*.debug                                         /var/log/debug.log
cron.*                                          /var/cron/log

And yes /var/log/maillog exists.......
