It isn't "sendmail" which is placing those log entries. It is "crond" and the PID of crond is 1188. It would appear that a cron job is calling sendmail and producing those messages.
Installing sendmail did clear up a lot of entries.
I am not sure what is running the cronjob.

crond is being run by root user. crontab of root user is emtpy. Probably some system process is triggering cronjob.
