I am getting lots of messages in /var/log/mail
like
  Aug 20 11:48:42 mother sendmail[15511]: rejecting  
connections on daemon MSA: load average: 12
  Aug 20 11:48:57 mother sendmail[15511]: rejecting
connections on daemon MTA: load average: 12

and am no longer receiving mail.  My question is: is
this indicative of an external problem, ie,  someone
trying to spam me with 18 billion email messages due
to some worm or virus gone awry, or is it indicative
of an internal problem, ie, someone has hacked me an
is trying to send too many messages from my computer
or is using me as a relay.

Does sendmail handle incoming and outgoing mail?  

Confused in Chicago,
John Hunter
