Hi,
I thought I would share my experience, with log_in_vain. :-))

When setting:
sendmail_flags="NO"

Sendmail only listens to 127.0.0.1

I only need sendmail to send daily/weekly/monthly reports. Every time the security 
report is sent, I have these entries too:
> Connection attempt to TCP 127.0.0.1:113 from 127.0.0.1:49161 flags:0x02
> Connection attempt to TCP 127.0.0.1:113 from 127.0.0.1:49163 flags:0x02

There are not hundreds of entries of course only 6 or something depending of the 
quantity of sent mails

It would be nice to have a/some flag(s) in rc.conf for log_in_vain like:
log_in_vain_flags="-ii0 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.1"
-ii would be "ignore interfaces" for example
This would be very useful on a host with multiple interfaces.
In this case log_in_vain would ignore entries for 127.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.1 (would be an 
internal interface). 


Even if it is not a bug it would a nice little plus. ;-)

Regards,
