That's normal.  You might be able to identify them by content,
although sendmail won't produce them if its log level is too low.

All my entries in /var/log/syslog are `mail.info', so that's probably
okay.  You should still try syslog debugging, just in case sendmail's
log message are being sent with a different facility or level.

Sendmail's internal log level, not related to syslog's level, should
default to 9.  It's documented in cf/README this way:

    confLOG_LEVEL		LogLevel	[9] Log level.

I assume it's unchanged.
