Are any of the files from /var/spool/clientmqueue left, or did you
delete them all? Files put there by sendmail will start with "df" (data
files, the message body of an email, owned by the user sending the
mail), and "qf" (queue files, containing the headers and various other
sundry bits of information, owned by smmsp). There should be one of each
file per email sent.
