Discussion

If Sendmail is not configured to log at level 9, system logs may not contain the information necessary for tracking unauthorized use of the sendmail service.

Check Content

Check sendmail to determine if the logging level is set to level "9":

# grep "O L" /etc/sendmail.cf
OR
# grep LogLevel /etc/sendmail.cf

If logging is set to less than "9", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Edit the "sendmail.cf" file, locate the "O L" or "LogLevel" entry, and change it to "9".
